They are Dales ponies, Cameron, one of our British Native ponies. Sadly, the numbers are in decline, so they are classed as a rare breed, but hopefully, if owners keep breeding, then the numbers will increase. They are very hardy ponies, and mine live out, about 1,200ft above sea level. We have really bad winters here sometimes, but they grow very thick coats, and the snow sits on the top!!. I will post a pic of one covered in snow. They used to be used in the lead mines, and can carry a lot of weight. Although they are usually only about 14hh, they are owned by adults, not children. Mine are used for riding and pulling carriages, and they are useful for pulling a small set of chain harrows. Most are black, but you can get bay (brown) grey, and the more unusual grey roan and bay roan ponies.
