Is there such a thing as a Mendip pony?
I just had a fantastic walk on the Mendip Hills and came across this lovely herd, described to me as Mendip ponies.
A fellow Mendipian suggested they are just Exmoor ponies that have strayed off their manor in search of a new scene. Who knows?
I learnt to ride on an Exmoor, mad as hell, I thought all ponies were like that but apparently renowned for being bad tempered. Why bad tempered, when they live in such a beautiful spot!!
