The hardy Exmoor pony is one of the most identifiable of the native breeds, with their distinctive mealy markings on the muzzle and around the eyes. But this Friday (26 May 2017) a new photography exhibition will open at Dunster National Park Centre in Somerset, promising to show the breed in a new light.
