Exmoor Pony
The Exmoor Pony is a beautiful pony, originating from England.

working ponies or riding ponies. The Exmoor Pony is also the
oldest British pony. Many feral herds of Exmoor Ponies live in
Southwest England.
Exmoor Ponies are considered ideal for use as work
ponies, primarily because of their hardiness and ability to work in
harsh climates. Exmoor Ponies are strong hoofed, and are said to
be resistant to many diseases. Additionally, Exmoor Ponies can
carry heavy loads, more than other horses of comparable sizes.
While there are many feral Exmoor Ponies, there are also many
domesticated Exmoor Ponies.
Exmoor Ponies are resistant to harsh winter
climates, and are able to grow a second coat in the winter. They
have a soft undercoat, and an oily outer coat that protects them from
water. Their eyes also protect themselves from water, and their
tails protect their bellies from becoming too cold in wet
climates. Exmoor Ponies tend to be bay colored, with markings of
varying colors on their faces.
