Dartmoor Pony, England  This evening, I am posting information on Dartmoor Ponies, an endangered breed of hardy equines found on Dartmoor in southern England.  Ponies with visitors Video clip of ponies Summary information as follows: Dartmoor is a high elevation landscape in the county of Devon which extends to 954 sq.km ( 368 sq. miles). The area has been designated a National Park. The pony population has fallen from tens of thousands to about 800 now. The breed has a docile temperament and is popular with children. The breed has a history on the moor dating back hundreds of years. There are two organisations dedicated to the breed: Dartmoor Pony Society (pedigree register) and the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust.
