Dartmoor Ponies, Aish Tor, England

Three ponies on the slopes of Aish Tor above the wooded valley of the River Dart, with the patchwork fields of Devon beyond. Small, stocky and unbothered by weather, they are as much a part of the moor as its granite tors. Like the Exmoor herds, Dartmoor's ponies are semi-feral. They roam the open commons year-round, but every one belongs to a commoner with grazing rights, and the herds are rounded up in collective drifts so owners can check, sort and sell their stock. Visitors are asked not to feed them, which only draws them to roads and car parks.
