There are feral Dartmoor Ponies. " It lives in a feral or "wild" state in Dartmoor National Park, Devon, in the United Kingdom. It is closely related to the Exmoor Pony. "

There are feral Emoor Ponies. "The Exmoor Pony is the oldest and most primitive of the British native ponies, as well as the purest, and some herds still roam free in the moors of southwest England (i.e. Exmoor)."Barbara Shack (talk) 16:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Your source? Is "Herds roam free" the same as "feral," though? I mean, the Piper stud lets their young Lipizzan horses "roam free" too -- for the first 3-4 yerars, but they also halter break them, groom them, etc... Not saying you are wrong, but a few abandoned ponies running loose doesn't make for a free-breeding "feral" population. May be a fine point, but see the article feral for what I am talking about. Anyway, if you can source your Quote with a source (other than wikipedia itself), I am fine with that. Montanabw^(talk) 05:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
