How to help Exmoor Ponies
The Exmoor ponies which graze this site are semi feral, and happily survive here as they would in the wild. Their hooves are fine and the chips to their hooves are a result of natural breakage, whilst they don’t look perfect, this does not cause them any problems, as their hooves trim themselves naturally overtime. The ponies are checked daily and have access to natural water sources, we also avoid supplementary feeding the ponies as we wish them to stay in their wild and natural state.
Plea to visitors not to feed Exmoor ponies
