Did You Know?
This prehistoric looking pony is Britain's oldest native pony breed.
In the Domesday book written in 1068 there are records of ponies in the Royal Forests of Exmoor.
Before the 1850's they were called horse beasts as the term "Pony" wasn't known in the area.
The Exmoor Pony Society was formed in 1921.
In addition to riding at the Exmoor Pony Centre, I met up with Jenna from the Exmoor Pony Society at her home in Cornwall! Watch the Quest Episode here:
