Ponies have lived on Dartmoor since prehistoric times (see pony heritage). Although herds of ponies roam freely on the moor, they all belong to different pony keepers. Most have not been handled so you should not approach them too closely.
The owners round up their ponies every year in the autumn at the annual pony 'drifts'. They then decide which ponies to keep on the moor and which to sell. The foals are usually weaned from their mothers at this time.
The ponies are very hardy and actually thrive on Dartmoor despite the harsh weather and poor vegetation. In fact, by grazing the moorland they play a vital role in maintaining a variety of habitats and supporting wildlife.
Not so many live on the moors these days has the farmers are using cattle has their main source of income, not many people want them.

Wild Horses at Saguaro Lake, The Mare has the most intense eyes, I have been there many times and she is still there,
The wild horses were threatened to be removed from this area, but the protests from wild horse lovers went to court and they will not be removed, although 1 was hit on the side of the road and just left, and another was shot and killed, this was a short time after the court ruling.( news was they wanted to make more hiking trails)

I must get out more and capture more horses and ponies. Such fine creatures, intelligent and strong. And here they are free to roam the mountain top. Wild!
My Painted Pony.
Caution! Adorableness abounds! I took a little side trip to SaNaRae this morning and found this sweet set by Belle Epoque that is currently only 99L a piece! I love the design of the top as it falls easily into that sugary sexy category that I love. I'm wearing Due's new Mina hair and the ultra-rare skin from Mudskin that is sunkissed and....

The true "wild" Welsh Mountain Pony refers to the semi-feral herds that have roamed the common lands and rugged peaks of Wales for thousands of years. While they share ancestry with the domesticated Section A pony, these free-roaming hill ponies live completely independent lives in the wild. They are increasingly recognised as a unique, genetically distinct population critical to British conservation.
The Carneddau Ponies: Britain's Wildest Herd
The most famous truly wild population is the Carneddau Ponies of North Wales.
Genetic Uniqueness:
Genetic studies by Aberystwyth University established that the Carneddau herd has a completely distinct, isolated gene pool separate from modern domestic Welsh breeds.
Extreme Hardiness:
They are slightly smaller and stockier than standard Section A ponies. They survive harsh mountain winters with zero supplementary feeding. They use their hooves to scrape snow away from buried forage.
Wild Diet:
Unlike domestic horses, they readily consume coarse mountain vegetation like soft rush, gorse, and Molinia grass.
Ecological Role as "Wildlife Warriors"
Wild hill ponies are essential landscape managers across Eryri (Snowdonia), the Brecon Beacons, and the Gower Hills.
Habitat Management:
Their unique grazing style keeps invasive gorse, bracken, and aggressive grasses under control, preventing them from choking out native wildflowers.
Preventing Soil Compaction: Being lighter than cattle, they navigate fens, heathlands, and dunes without compacting the fragile upland soils.
Supporting Local Wildlife:
Their grazing creates short-grass habitats required by rare birds like the chough. Additionally, their dung provides a critical breeding ground for beetle larvae, a major food source for upland birds.
Feral Status & "The Annual Gather"
Though they live like wild animals, these ponies are technically semi-feral because they are protected by local farming families with ancient common grazing rights.
Minimal Intervention: The ponies choose their own mates, foal entirely unassisted, and roam across vast open boundaries.
Gorgeous little ponies, another two came up to the gate to see us not showing here.
The Shetland pony is a Scottish breed of pony originating in the Shetland Isles in the north of Scotland. It may stand up to 107 cm (42 in) at the withers.[1] It has a heavy coat and short legs, is strong for its size, and is used for riding, driving, and pack purposes.
Shetland ponies originated in the Shetland Isles, located northeast of mainland Scotland. Small horses have been kept in the Shetland Isles since the Bronze Age. People who lived on the islands probably later crossed the native stock with ponies imported by Norse settlers. Shetland ponies also were probably influenced by the Celtic pony, brought to the islands by settlers between 2000 and 1000 BCE. The harsh climate and scarce food developed the ponies into extremely hardy animals.
The New Forest pony is a hardy breed native to the New Forest area of England, known for its gentle temperament and sure-footedness. These semi-feral ponies are privately owned by local "commoners" and roam freely in the New Forest, but are rounded up annually for health checks. They can be any color except for piebald, skewbald, spotted, or blue-eyed cream, and have a maximum height of 148 cm.
The history of ponies in the New Forest dates back to at least 1016, and outside breeds like Welsh and Thoroughbred have been introduced over the centuries to improve the bloodline.
Brought onto Ynys LLanddwyn to,help maintain the island, Carneddau ponies are a breed of small Welsh Mountain ponies, present in the Carneddau mountains in north Wales, in Snowdonia. They stand at 10-11 hands, and in 2013, DNA identification revealed that they are a distinct, unique and ancient breed having been isolated in the Carneddau for centuries
