Exmoor Pony - Uses

Uses

In the past, Exmoors were used as pit ponies. Ponies that are not kept in semi-feral conditions are used for a variety of activities, including showing, jumping, long-distance riding, driving, and agility. Exmoor ponies won the International Horse Agility Championships in 2012. The breed's hardiness makes it suitable for conservation grazing, and it contributes to the management of many heathland, chalk grassland and other natural pasture habitats, as well as to the conservation of Exmoor itself.
