We support people who want to buy a heritage Dartmoor pony for themselves and help keep the magic going for future generations.

We’re helping Dartmoor’s breeders and farmers sell their heritage colts so breeding herds on the moor can be funded sustainably. We want to share the joy these beautiful animals bring with families around the country, and support conservation grazing for nature elsewhere.

The heritage ponies that we sell are being sold on behalf of the reputable farmers and breeders we work so closely with. As great quality animals with known backgrounds, every choice is a good one.

About the heritage Dartmoor pony

These moor bred ponies are lovely animals. Becoming an owner means you also help preserve these increasingly rare animals in their natural landscape. You’re also buying a friend for life.

Standing no higher than 12.2hh with a full flowing mane and tail, ponies native to Dartmoor have a single colour; bay, brown, black, grey, chestnut or roan.

Our breeder and keeper ponies are all passported with the Dartmoor Pony Society. They originate from the moor’s ancient wild herds. They’re tough, robust and surefooted, and they thrive in harsh moorland conditions.
