What are Mountain & Moorland Classes?

The nine British Native Ponies make up the Mountain & Moorland classes. They are the Connemara, Dartmoor, Dales, Exmoor, Fell, Highland, New Forest, Shetland(British), and Welsh,A,B,C,D. They have been recognized by the National Pony Society (NPS) of the United Kingdom (UK).

An M&M pony by definition is "One whose ancestors have lived on mountain, moor, or common for the last three generations in semi-feral conditions." From these herds, breeders use only the strongest, and hardiest ponies for their breeding programs keeping them "True to Type."

Since there are so few M&M ponies in North America, these shows offer a way for the M&M ponies to compete together. Besides the Welsh and Connemara ponies, the other 7 pony breed numbers are so small, and widespread across the continent, it would be impossible to have enough ponies in one breed to warrant having their own show. The Welsh and Connemara organizations have generously added these M&M classes to their shows. Every year more and more M&M classes are popping up across the country.
