Exmoor Pony Society

Virtual Exhibition - "Horsebeast Heritage"

The Society staged an exhibition entitled "Horsebeast Heritage" at the Dulverton Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre during 2006 and 2007. The word "horsebeast" is the old Exmoor word for the Exmoor Pony - the word "pony" did not come into use on Exmoor until the mid 1800s.
