About This Book

The book surveys the origins, regional varieties, and practical uses of British ponies, tracing their descent from half-wild woodland stock and explaining legal, historical, and husbandry influences on their development. It profiles specific types — New Forest, Welsh, Exmoor and Dartmoor, Cumberland and Westmorland, Connemara, Scottish and Shetland — describing conformation, temperament, and traditional habitats. Sections examine breeding practices, management, and temperamental and physical traits that suit ponies for riding, driving, and emerging roles such as polo, with practical advice for breeders and owners and illustrations that highlight typical forms and uses.
