Description

The Exmoor pony is a horse breed native to the British Isles, where some still roam as semi-feral livestock on Exmoor, a large area of moorland in Devon and Somerset in southwest England.

The Exmoor has been given "endangered" status by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, and "threatened" status by The Livestock Conservancy. It is one of the British Isles' mountain and moorland pony breeds, having conformation similar to that of other cold-weather-adapted pony breeds.

The Exmoor pony is hardy and used for a variety of equestrian activities.

In its free-roaming state, the breed's presence on Exmoor contributes to the conservation and management of several natural pasture habitats.
