Feral Ponies Photo Gallery by Keith O'Brien at pbase.com

Feral Ponies

These ponies have been roaming the common land at the Rhinog foothills near Trawsfynydd, north Wales, for over 50 years. Originally bred as Pit Ponies because of their small but immensley strong build. However with both the decline of the British coal industry and its mechanization the demand for Pit Ponies diminished as a result of which there was no market for them, thus over the years these ponies have returned to the wild and have become feral.

Beautiful collection. These animals should be left this way to roam and live out their lives as they should. They should be as kind here in the USA to the wild mustangs in the west.

for Guest: Horses are sentient, sensitive creatures, but I seriously doubt "they" have a feeling one way or the other about what we humans "call" them. Lol. Great gallery, btw. Fun, revealing images into the life of this little band.

cits_4_pets		24-Aug-2009 19:14
Wonderful new images added since I last visited. Excellent, they look quite nice with their shiny coats and such lush looking grass! My Arabian would be in 7th heaven out there!

Guest		29-Jul-2009 00:07
How do you think it makes them feel to be called Feral? Perhaps Domestically Deprived?
