Please be aware when purchasing a Dartmoor pony that it is
fully registered in the Dartmoor Pony Society's Studbook and is in possession
of genuine relevant paperwork issued by the Dartmoor Pony Society.
We are aware that confusion has arisen between the true
Dartmoor Pony and the crossbred ponies on the Moor not conforming to the
Dartmoor Pony Society's Breed Standard which are sometimes described as
Dartmoor Hill Ponies.
Only pure bred Dartmoor ponies registered in the Dartmoor
Pony Society Stud Books are eligible to compete in Mountain and Moorland
classes requiring a Stud Book Number i.e. all shows affiliated to the National
Pony Society, Ponies (UK), B.S.P.S. Heritage Classes and County Shows etc.
If you are unsure of any status of any pony please contact
the Secretary in the first instance before purchase.
