never heard that before but I love it. Lots of "Shetamoors" over Tavistock way. (not so many our way) Whitchurch Down the other day was a mass of brown and white. No Palominos I'm afraid.

Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
If we go up to Okehampton camp there is every colour of Shetamoor you could ever desire!

not sure I really desire one! Mine are actual ponies just the way I like them.
not sure what people use the Shetamoors for?

I just hope that with a Shetamoor you get the best of both rather than the worst 
Bit like a Cockerpoo, a beautiful non shedding pet rather than a bad tempered hyper active little oik!! (and yes, that is a bit tongue in cheek but you get my drift). In my day Countryfile never came with a warning either about "some of the following may contain upsetting scenes", us country folk are made of strong stuff!!

Me too, I grew up on an Exmoor and a Section C followed by a NF (xTB). Dad rode the Section C himself for years.

Too little time, too much to read.
My friend had Shetamoor that was the worst of both worlds. Saved her a fortune in the end as it put both her children off riding.

i think they are sold as lawnmower and accessories?

Exmoor still has proper ponies, all the same colour!

Yes. unfortunately people have lost the ability to deal with native ponies seemingly and for a long time, people wanted horses way taller than they needed. Then they all got fat and actually needed the big horses and now we are at the place whereby people either must be only 5 stone to ride a small native (I dont count section B's because I've never understood the concept) but noone over 12 stone should be riding at all.
eta my dad was about 5'7 and probably 11stone-can you imagine the outrage now if a bloke rode a Section C?

Well that’s a Shetamoor niche, too heavy to ride? Have a My Little Pony instead.

I used to ride a C and am probably a similar height and weight. So cruel!

Many shades of the same colour.
