Welsh or Dartmoor

[Sauerkraut]

Hi everyone,

would you be so kind and tell us what you think our new pony is? She is a stunning bay mare 12.2 HH. I don't mind the breed. We tested her, she settled in well and she is just such a lovely pony. She is very fine boned and I thought Dartmoors are much chunkier (I am originally from Germany and not familiar with Dartmoors or Exmoors) but looking at some pictures online I think she fits much more the bill as a Dartmoor!?

Thank you very much for taking the time!

Very difficult to say, could you post up a picture of her sideways on with head in line, also an extra one of her head, I think she could be a cross, Welsh cross Dartmoor.

I'd go Dartmoor, especially with the mealy colouring around the stifle. Welsh should be thicker legs than that (unless how pony type which have been bred finer than the original type). Neither Exmoor (which she isn't) nor Dartmoor are chunky legs. Whatever she is, you have a lovely pony.

Thanks for the replies so far. Yes I meant chunkier bodies not legs but after looking at some pictures of Dartmoors online I think she looks very much like one.

Here are some more pictures:
