To most people the words 'British pony' conjure up a picture of a shaggy, tubby beast with a mind of its own, as drawn by cartoonist Thelwell. But in Britain we have nine breeds of mountain and moorland pony, each with its own characteristics and history. From Dartmoor to Shetland, from polo to pit, the versatile British pony shows its paces.
