Magnificent Exmoor stallion!
This is Keodale, who carries rare and valuable bloodlines for the Exmoor Pony. The breed is listed as endangered by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Their ability to survive on low grade moorland makes them a great conservation grazer, not to mention their intelligence and capability as in many ridden disciplines and also under harness harness. These hardy native ponies are also great characters and their ability to carry weight makes them great all rounders as family ponies. Their thick winter coats mean that they do not necessarily require the pampering that so many breeds of equine do, but some Exmoors do enjoy that style of life! My own two three year olds have access to a stable ( the door is open 24/7!) if and when they do wish to come in, but they usually spend the majority of the day and night outside whatever the weather!
