Welcome to The Dartmoor Hill Pony website.

Here you can learn all about the history, breeding, habitat and lives of the ponies found today on the commons of Dartmoor National Park.

You will also find up-to-date information about the ponies on Dartmoor throughout the year.

We have been inundated with messages of support regarding the recent articles in the national press regarding the plight of the ponies on the moor this year...

We would be delighted if you would like to become a member of our voluntary
organisation Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony dedicated to the job of
supporting and promoting these ponies to give them a future on the moor and
also ensure them a good home when they leave the moor by giving them an
identity and therefore a real value.

We have spent the last year putting A Ten Point Strategy plan in place to
ensure the welfare of the Dartmoor Hill Pony and to secure its future on
Dartmoor. Unfortunately, as with all such ventures, funding is required,
together we want to ensure the future of ponies on Dartmoor and now we just
need to find a way to fund it as Natural England are no longer in a position
to do so. We need your help to turn this nightmare around.
There are many issues surrounding their welfare and future survival. There
is no one simple answer to a multitude of challenges which include
management of foal production, disease control and of course finding them
good homes when they leave the moor.
