The Exmoor pony is one of the world's oldest breeds. It has been preserved unchanged on Exmoor through the centuries. The ponies' main distinctive feature is a mealy nose. They are usually bay or brown in colour, but may be dun. The ponies are extremely hardy and appear to disregard the worst winter weather, coming in cheerfully with frosted manes and snow on their backs. They are also strong. While their height is only about 12.2 hands, they will happily carry an adult for a day's fast riding over the moor.
They make delightful riding ponies and charming, intelligent companions.
