EXMORE PONIES


They have striking features, different than other ponies and horses.  One of them is that they have a 27th molar which other horses lack.

They are sturdy, and, although considered an old breed, some British consider them valuable for the running of their farms.  

The male Exmoor is very kind when he seeks out his mate.  He may go a long way to find her, but when having done so, he is patient and does not cause trouble.

Exmoors are very similar to cave paintings of horses.  They are prized by many individuals in Great Britain.

Pictures of Exmoors are not easy to find.  Exmoors seem to be related to ancient horses, but no DNA proof has validated that.  Yet they remind us of cave paintings.

They are stout, strong, patient and heavy bearing pack animals.  If you are lucky to have one, cherish it's heritage.  They have been close to extinction several times.
