Dartmoor Pony, Dartmoor, Devon. These ponies have lived on Dartmoor for centuries. In medieval times they were used as working animals by miners and quarry workers on the moor. Today the ponies roam wild on Dartmoor. Despite measures taken to protect the breed, numbers have declined from over 25,000 animals in the 1930s to around 5000 today.
