Did you know that a thorough bred Dartmoor Pony is rarer than a Panda? A Plymouth vet told me that. I love escaping on to Dartmoor. 20 minute bus ride from Plymouth to the Getaway at South Hams. Near the Dartmoor Dinner

Dartmoor Ponies are native to Britain, but are also seen in other parts of the world, including the US,[11] Continental Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.[12] They are often used as foundation breeding stock for the Riding Pony.[13] The breed is a good size and temperament for a children's mount, but it can carry an adult. They are mainly used for hunting, trail riding,[14] showing,[15] jumping, dressage, and driving,[16] as well as everyday riding.
