Hi , I'm going to put my introduction on the correct site this time. I would like to do this right. I am a fanatic on Exmoors and have three super ponies that give me a lot of pleasure. I have no one that lives near who is a keen rider or who likes these incredible animals . The nearest exmoor enthusiast are about two and a half hour remote drive from me. I became interested in the site to keep me up to date with all the Exmoor chat. I then did not feel alone. I am a keen climber and hill Walker and I take my oldest 6 year old Exmoor into the hills and we both enjoy the wild routes we take and we meet nobody for hours.  |

Thank you for your hello and welcome , its wierd to talk to anyone about my ponies. Well I live near Skye, small village called Lochcarron. I come from Cornwall and grew up with horses and ponies on my mums farm. I am here because I married a local and I was also very involved in mountain rescue and dog teams. I came across my Exmoors by meeting Debbie Davy and so it came to be, Exmoor fanatic. I do have five , but I have two that Debbies herd rejected. They are very small 9 hands , fully formed and look like mini exmoors . They are both deaf , but other wise fine. I am breaking them into harness , but not easy. These are a one off .The 'normal ' three I have are Beinn Strome 21/86 my first pony from Debby , he is from the liqueur stock and very smart. I have a mare called Molbuie 21/104 she is fantastic , so quite and behaves like a been and done it all pony. I now have her with Debbies recent licenced stallion called Ardmedden 21/115 , all living to together on a hill croft. These are my best friends and I spend as much time with them as possible . Sorry for babbling on.

Babble on as much as you like! I think I speak for the masses when I say we love hearing about all the members ponies. Love to hear where they all are and what they're all doing.

Thats some weather! I do miss "proper" snow that you can ride in from my Edinburgh trekking days. Here we normally have more ice than soft snow  . |
