Wild Horses of Dartmoor
STORY
It’s not hard to imagine why many poets, writers and artists found inspiration within this bleak yet evocative landscape. The sheer expansiveness is breathtaking. It completely undoes me. When the fog rolls in and the sun begins to set, the landscape takes on another character all together.
When I first experienced this wild place, I was in awe terrain.. and then I saw the ponies.
These wild ponies can be seen roaming freely on the moors across Dartmoor National Park. One of the oldest breeds of ponies in the world, they are considered the closest breed to wild horses remaining in Europe. They’ve lived on the moor for centuries, thriving despite harsh winter weather; there are records going back to 1012 AD acknowledging their presence and footprints being discovered that date back 3,500 years. The moors are known for its extreme weather conditions, of which the ponies have developed into particularly hardy breed with impressive stamina. Over the centuries, the ponies have been used in Dartmoor’s mining industry to transport ore, for shepherding, taking families to market and on occasion, even helping the postman deliver letters.
