A horse or pony with a softer diet will not need one and will have a soft, velvety nose and muzzle.<br /><br />Hello WOL - in answer to your question. Chagford is in Devon, a coastal county further to the South West of us. It is part of Dartmoor where the native breed of Dartmoor Ponies live. These are the ones that feature on Em Parkinson`s blog, Dartmoor Rambles.<br /><br />I live in the New Forest ( which is a mixture of woodland and sandy heathland) in Hampshire, in the centre of the South Coast of England. The New Forest also has feral ponies, owned by Commoners, grazing the ancient landscape. <br /><br />On a map, the New Forest can be found between the city of Southampton and the seaside town of Bournemouth.
