THE PONIES - we aim to keep around a dozen ponies at any one time, which keeps the ponies handled and getting individual attention which is so important. The mainly Dartmoor reared foundation stock we have chosen offer wonderful old fashioned bloodlines and we really enjoy showing our homebred babies under our own prefix. If you are new to the Dartmoor breed please don't hesitate to contact us as we love to help promote these wonderful ponies.
