Britain's hills each bred a pony to match them. Gilbey walks through the sturdy Welsh, the Exmoor and Dartmoor, the Cumberland and Westmoreland breeds, the Irish Connemara, and the hardy little Shetland, weighing their uses and characters. An affectionate, knowledgeable tour of the native ponies. For every reader who ever loved a small horse with a big heart.
