About
At Moonstone, we are a proud family-owned farm with a passion for preserving the charm, strength, and legacy of Britain’s native pony breeds. Our focus began with the endangered Dartmoor pony, and we're excited to now include a Highland filly in our growing herd – further enriching our mission to protect these iconic and beloved breeds.
Dartmoor Ponies: Endangered Treasures of the Moor
The Dartmoor pony is one of the UK’s rarest native breeds, known for its gentle temperament, hardiness, and deep historical ties to the rugged Dartmoor landscape. Despite their small stature, these ponies are incredibly strong, intelligent, and sure-footed, making them ideal companions for children, therapy programs, or light riding and driving. By working with these beautiful animals, we aim to conserve a vital piece of British heritage that’s at risk of disappearing.
Highland Ponies: Gentle Giants of the North
We’re thrilled to introduce our newest family member – a Highland pony filly, one of Scotland’s oldest and most cherished breeds. Highland ponies are known for their calm demeanor, thick coats, and remarkable strength, perfect for working in the hills and forging deep bonds with their caretakers. Their kind nature and versatility make them well-suited for families, equestrian sports, or traditional farm work.
Why It Matters
With native pony breeds facing declining numbers, our mission is not only to safeguard their future, but also to share their unique beauty and value with others. By choosing to support or work with us, you're helping to ensure these wonderful ponies thrive for generations to come.
