Exmoor ponies are the oldest breed in the UK – possibly dating back to prehistoric times. They are classified as a rare breed and in the wild are rarer than the Great Panda; numbers reached a critical point at the end of World War Two but have climbed since. Unlike other UK breeds, they have very consistent colouring and have a reputation as being very intelligent – and very hungry! These ponies were photographed near Webbers Post in the spring of 2005.
