Story
The Exmoor Pony Project began in 2013 when we discovered critically endangered Exmoor pony foals in jeopardy across Exmoor. We now have over 30 beautiful Exmoor ponies in our direct care.
The Exmoor Pony Project includes young orphan and rescue foals, nurturing them through tricky periods and back to full health so they can enjoy life to the full here in the herds. We've also taken on older ponies who have found themselves in trouble and we are helping to safeguard important endangered genetics with some of the best pedigree and purebred bloodlines.
The ponies live in settled herds where we have evolved a management system enabling them to live as freely and naturally as possible, with their health and wellbeing a priority. There are many ponies here in the project who would not be here today without it.
Donations and sponsorship help us to safeguard the Exmoor Pony Project and your support is very much appreciated.

5 years agoDear Supporters, this is the last day of the Exmoor Pony Project JustGiving fundraising appeal. A massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated to help with the care and management of the 30+ endangered breed Exmoor ponies in our direct care. Each and every one of them is completely worth it. Many of them would not be here today without our project. Thank you for helping us to safeguard this wonderful herd. There is a long way to go, the future is uncertain, but we're doing this together. And we'll find a way! Kindest regards, Dawn
