Welcome to our Dartmoor Pony stud, where our passion for equine breeding meets a commitment to ecological sustainability. With many years of experience in horse breeding, we are thrilled to embark on a new journey with Dartmoor ponies, a breed close to our hearts and crucially endangered.
Our mission is to produce true-to-type Dartmoor ponies that not only preserve the breed’s heritage but also contribute to the health of our environment.
At our farm, we are dedicated to using these remarkable ponies for conservation grazing, a natural and effective way to manage our chalk meadow grassland. By doing so, we aim to enhance biodiversity, fostering a rich and vibrant ecosystem. Join us as we blend traditional breeding expertise with modern conservation efforts, ensuring a thriving future for Dartmoor ponies and our cherished landscapes.
We occasionally have Dartmoor ponies available to the very best of homes. If you are interested in one of our ponies, please contact us to find your perfect match.
Additionally, we may offer young stock or stud livery services, and can produce ponies for their owners. If you would like to discuss these options, please get in touch.
Our experience with Bertie (Bradford Fantasy) has beautifully highlighted many of the reasons why Dartmoor Ponies are such a special breed.
Dartmoor ponies are classified as an endangered native breed, making them an important part of Britain's natural and cultural heritage. By choosing Dartmoor ponies, you contribute to the preservation and enhancement of this unique breed, helping to ensure their survival for future generations.
Dartmoor ponies are known for their relatively small size, which means they exert less pressure on the ground compared to larger horses. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in maintaining the health and quality of pastures, especially during wet and adverse weather conditions when the land is more susceptible to damage.
As a native breed, Dartmoor ponies have evolved to thrive in the British climate. Their hardiness allows them to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them a resilient and low-maintenance option for horse owners. This adaptability reduces the need for extensive shelter and additional care during winter months.
Dartmoor ponies are renowned for their gentle and friendly nature. Their intelligence and willingness to please make them highly trainable, suitable for a variety of equestrian activities, including riding for children and adults, driving, and even therapeutic riding programs.
Despite their small stature, Dartmoor ponies are incredibly versatile. They excel in various disciplines such as dressage, show jumping, eventing, and showing. Their agility and endurance make them excellent companions for both competitive and leisure riding.
By maintaining Dartmoor ponies on your land, you contribute to the ecological balance. These ponies help manage vegetation and promote biodiversity, playing a part in the conservation of the landscape and its ecosystems.
Dartmoor ponies are undeniably beautiful animals. Their attractive appearance, with their sturdy yet graceful build and expressive eyes, adds an aesthetic value to any setting.
Bertie has shown us so many positive qualities of the breed. We hope that by breeding Dartmoor ponies, we not only enjoy their companionship and versatility but also play a crucial role in preserving and promoting a vital part of Britain’s equine heritage.
