Characteristics of the Exmoor Pony [page 3]

The tail is neatly set in and the fan of short hairs near the root of the tail is called a snow chute . The mane, forelock and tail are thick and fully haired and also shed water efficiently.	The forelock is full & sheds water easily.
An Exmoor foal rests peacefully.	The Exmoor pony, like all wild ponies, has developed in response to its environment and because it has lived and evolved in such a relatively small area over such a long period, must be one of the purest examples of Equus in existence today. All the photos in our articles about the Exmoor pony were taken by Mike Sherwin and Sue Wingate
