Dales Pony
 The Dales Pony is known for
its strength, stamina and intelligence. They are indigenous to the eastern
slopes of the English Pennines, known as the Yorkshire Dales. These amazing
ponies would carry 110 lbs. of supplies up to fifty miles per day to deliver
ore, fuel and lead to port about 250 miles away. Oftentimes, a team of up to
twenty ponies would be led, untied, by one rider on these journeys.
Dartmoor Pony
 The Dartmoor Pony originated
in Dartmoor in Devon England. These horses are one of nine breeds native to the
British Isles. Due to the rugged and bleak conditions in this area, only the
strongest of the Dartmoor Ponies survived. Many of these ponies were used as
pack horses for tin mining. Later, they were used on farms and at prisons. The
guards used them to escort work parties to and from prison.
Dutch Warmblood
 The Dutch Warmblood is a
modern horse that originated from the selective breeding of German, French, and
English horses crossed with the native Dutch stock. These Dutch Warmbloods are
often bred to perform in show jumping and dressage competitions at the highest
level. This breed has great intelligence, consistency, and enthusiasm for work.
