I took this shoot in Dartmoor National Park of roaming wild ponies, which have been found in the moors for thousands of years. The moors located in Devon County are spectacular. The terrain and magnificent views always thrill me. (Best viewed Large). Edited in Photoshop and Topaz.

There is no more iconic sight on Dartmoor than a herd of ponies grazing together, with stunning, majestic Dartmoor as their backdrop. They have been here a long time, hoof prints found on Dartmoor during an archaeological dig were found to be 3,500 yrs old! I captured this image in South Devon, England while this little guy was grazing along the moor.
Taken at Whiteford, Gower - the ponies are always photogenic but given the shot a lot of sliding! HSS

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.

The weather forecast over the past week was good so we decided to head back to the New Forest for a few days.
Don't be alarmed by the fire, it's actually a practice of controlled burning which takes place in the New Forest between November and March. The burning encourages new growth which is beneficial to a variety of flora and fauna and also helps reduce the risk of wildfires in the summer months. I had a longish lens on (technical term 😉) so wasn't too close to the ponies or the fire but another group of people decided to walk closer. The ponies who generally ignore people came up to them and were trying to nudge them away from the fire. I can't say that was 100% what happened but it definitely seemed to be the case!
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images. Have a great weekend everyone.
This pony and friends are employed to help manage the invasive bracken, in Hastings Country Park - HSS!
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!
From our Boxing Day outing, walking in the Foggintor area on the moors. A typical Dartmoor scenery - soggy ponies in a boggy moorland.
The pony, encountered with delight on Yr Elen, stayed absolutely still, apart from the wind blowing through her mane and tail...

This was one of my earliest digital images, but was only recently processed in Lightroom. .
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....

Wild ponies grazing on Dartmoor at sunset. There are many ponies that live wild on Dartmoor all year round. Dartmoor is a National Park in the south west of England.
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.
Ponies are sociable creatures, and this one was part of a small group who happily posed briefly on her own for the camera. In the distance on the right we can see the TV transmitter aerial just outside Princetown. This shot was taken near Dartmeet, where the East and West Dart rivers join together before flowing south to the sea at Dartmouth.
