Exmoor Ponies in the Snow!
Our Exmoors looking fabulous in the recent snow
When the snow hits Exmoor, the amazing Exmoor ponies come into their own. Their incredibly thick, double-layered winter coats fluff up and they're out in the elements without worry. Well, that is unless there's a warm, dry barn on offer and intelligent Exmoor ponies will make full use of all facilities!
While the snow clouds dumped their contents on the farm, the ponies headed for their barns and haylage tyres, and didn't poke their noses outside for some hours. But once the sun came out, so did they, and here are some pictures of them enjoying their beautiful environment - and looking glorious!

As the temperature plummeted, Monsieur Chapeau sensibly decided the best place was undercover!
