Information
With its powerful build, stocky legs, small ears and distinctive colouring, the Exmoor is the living image of horses in Palaeolithic cave paintings dating back 17,300 years. They’re adapted to life in harsh environments and play a vital role in creating habitat for other wildlife.
We currently have two Exmoor pony herds at Knepp Wildland, totalling around 30 ponies. Our aim is to allow the herds to enjoy as natural a life as possible by running mixed herds of entire males, females and their young, breeding a small amount of purebred, registered Exmoor pony foals each year.
After a short presentation over a cup of tea with Rina Quinlan, our wild horse specialist, you’ll head into the Wildland to spend time observing the ponies, learning about their herd structure and social behaviours and how their disturbances create opportunities for other life.
Our Wild Horses Safari is at a moderate walking pace with frequent stops. You’ll need a good level of fitness and be able to cope with walking on uneven ground.
