Carneddau Ponies

This Photograph gives a glimpse into the lives of the mystical wild ponies that thrive on one of the UK's most beautiful yet harsh terrains.
The Carneddau Ponies have been grazing the remote and rugged mountain grasslands of Snowdonia for centuries. The horses were saved from a mass cull by Henry VIII 400 years ago after he declared they must be destroyed, as they couldn't carry a knight in full armour.
Today they remain part of the landscape in North Wales
