Exmoor Ponies

Good morning from Exmoor 💛

Starting the day with these photos of beautiful Exmoor Ponies by Shaun Davey.

Up the Toll Road…

Penultimate day for my birthday holiday week. Took my husband for a drive up the Toll Road and came across these beauties grazing in the sunshine.

Meeting the Anchor Herd

We met these lovely girls on our walk, they are a part of the Anchor Herd. They all looked really well and resplendent in their rich bay colours. It was also good to see they have some supplementary feed in this cold weather. The mare on the far right came up to say hello and have a sniff. I don’t usually get too close but she was determined to gently greet us 🥰

What a difference a year makes

A year ago Exmoor was covered in a beautiful layer of snow – what a difference to this year!

Jochen Langbein shared two images of Exmoor Ponies on Porlock Hill, exactly taken 12 months apart.

Exmoor Ponies in the Golden Hour at Tarr Steps

Adam Galpin took these photos yesterday evening after the ancient clapper bridge was restored yesterday. Flooding had washed the stones away a few months ago, but everything is now back to what it’s looked for centuries.

If you go down to the woods today…

… you might come across a herd of Exmoor Ponies.

Geoff Bannister took this photo on North Hill near Minehead.
