The Dartmoor ponies of Bolt Head

The Dartmoor ponies of Bolt Head
Continuing over this Devon SW coastal path we spy these ponies. It appears that they are wild Dartmoor ponies, allowed to graze here to keep the grass down. Dartmoor National Park is just 25 miles North of here. In the distance a signpost points our way further down the coast toward Salcombe.

Good things, that they can keep the grass down. Even if to me it seems a bit dangerous, even for ponies.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
They are very sure footed Daniela and not as high as normal horses. Glad you liked it.

The Dartmoor ponies are a hardy lot...............this sort of landscape is perfect for them.

Another super shot from the Devon coast...............the detail and textures in the rocks are lovely and contrast well with the softer textures of the surrounding vegetation. The ponies themselves are beautiful animals.

Very well composed and captured Herb!

They seemed well at home here and they loved the many walkers here stoking and patting them.

The scenic cliffs here cried out for attention.

Cheers, Herb

They look beautiful in this landscape Herb. There are three Dartmoor ponies in a field near me, belonging to the local retired vet. They are very friendly. Cheers, Rosa.
