I want to join as for me the horse is a magnificent animal and it's welfare is vitally important. Chris.

We have a dartmoor called Bess and are very interested in preserving the breed

The Dartmoor Pony is basic to everything we know and love about Dartmoor - where would the National Park be without its emblem and logo ?

YOUR DOING A GOOD JOB WELL DONE AND ALL THE BEST WE ARE A FAMILY OF DARTMOOR LOVERS THEY ARE WONDERFUL PONIES

I worry about the ponies when I see cars racing passed them and do not slow down. I think the holiday makers drive much more carefully when they see animals in the road but find the "locals" do not slow down and take it for granted that the animals will move out of the way for them.

I am very interested in the survival of the dartmoor pony. I live with my husband and Irish Draft x TB nr Tavistock within Dartmoor National Park. My first pony was a Dartmoor.

i think it's wonderfull that things are being done to help the dartmoor pony. i have grown up on Dartmoor and have always had dartmoor ponies to ride. However it makes me so mad when i see shetland type stallions running on the moor, his off spring are no good to man nor beast, they will get laminites if brought in country, many have bad temperments, there for they are unsutable for small children, and they will be to small to be ridden and competed by older children. Unfortuanatly most of the ponys running on dartmoor are between 10hh and 11hh. Please do something make them bigger, they will be come more sell able.

My husband and I love walking our whippets on Dartmoor. I love nothing more than to see the ponies there also. Ever since a young child I have loved to see the ponies. I am now very much aware of their fall in numbers and think everything possible should be done to save them. Dartmoor would be a much lesser place without the Dartmoor Pony.

really like your site. i have two dartmoor ponies Springwater Douglas and Tedburn Alergretto

very informative site, have just purchased to dartmoor ponies. many thanks

The ponies are synonymous with the moor. I remember the thrill of first seeing them when I was a child. It just would not be the same without them.

I want the Dartmoor ponies to survive.

Dartmoor ponies. I love them. I hope that we can stop them fromm being extinct, as I have grown up with them. I live in Ivybridge (a large town near the moor) which is close to the moor. And I love the ponies.

I was lucky enough to visit your centre this summer whilst on holiday in the area. All your ponies are beautiful and you are doing a wonderful job in helping to raise awareness of and preserve the true Native Dartmoor pony. My very first pony, was a Dartmoor . He was with me for 23 wonderful years and was a very special pony. Keep up the good work.
