Welcome to the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust
The Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust’s mission is to secure the Dartmoor Pony native to Dartmoor, by engaging and connecting people with Dartmoor’s wildlife, landscape and heritage.
Through education, working closely with key partners and Dartmoor farmers to secure the future of these national treasures for future generations. Together we ensure their vital conservation role is recognised both on the moor itself and across the UK

We support them to protect and preserve their Dartmoor Pony herds
The majority of ponies we keep belong to our recognised Dartmoor Pony Keeper Members, hill farmers who own the breeding herds on the Dartmoor Commons. We help look after ponies to mature to a more valuable age, when they can be used for riding, driving or sold to conservation grazing sites.
