Visit the Exmoor Ponies at The Moorland Mousie Trust |
The Exmoor Pony Breed
Exmoor Ponies are one of the oldest breeds of equines in the world and play a vital role in the ecology of Exmoor. The history of the Exmoor pony is a fascinating one. Their ancestry is believed to trace back to the original British hill pony. The ponies have lived on Exmoor for as long as anyone knows. They are part and parcel of the landscape.
How The Moorland Mousie Trust is helping...
During the first couple of years of their campaign, The Moorland Mousie Trust found that whilst they could find homes for the foals, their new owners, whilst being experienced horse/pony owners, were not necessarily experienced in handling the untouched horse. Whilst with patience, most overcame the difficulties encountered, some still had real problems, and just like people, each pony is an individual, so The Moorland Mousie Trust decided on a fresh approach.
The youngsters needed to be handled before being rehomed. This handling scheme has now been working successfully for nearly 3 years, and The Moorland Mousie Trust is now looking forward to opening a new centre on Exmoor, where people can learn more about this unique breed.
Why not visit the Exmoor ponies at the Moorland Mousie Trust Centre at Ashwick while you are staying at Draydon Cottages? The cottages are located very close to the Centre. See the ponies at first hand and discover the magic of this enchanting and hugely characterful breed.
