Exmoor ponies are stocky and strong, with deep chests and large girths. They range in colour from dark brown and bay (red-brown) to dun (smokey-brown), which helps them to blend in with their natural habitat of heather, grass and bracken. The Exmoor pony’s most distinctive feature is the pale, oatmeal coloured hair around its muzzle, giving it the appearance of having dipped its nose in a bucket of flour. This is known as 'mealy' nose and is due to a coat trait called pangaré or mealy markings, only found in some primitive breeds of horses. They also have white rings around their eyes, pale markings on their bellies and dark brown hair on their legs, which makes them look like they are wearing black stockings. Their manes and tails are thick and long, and their coats are fine in the summer but double-layered and thick in the winter, with a soft, wooly undercoat and a longer, oily, water-repellent outer coat. Exmoor ponies also have an extra rim of flesh around their eyes known as a 'toad eye' which helps to protect them against harsh weather and a ‘snow chute tail’ formed by short, coarse hairs at the dock of the tail, which helps to deflect snow and rainwater.

What's on Country Life's wonderful cover this week? It's a beautiful thatched cottage in Selworthy, in the Exmoor National Park, Somerset. In the issue we explore the joys of a jumbly cottage garden, explore an Arts-and-Cradts cottage in Gloucestershire and meet the men who thatch Britain's roofs. Happy reading!

'To step amidst the ferns who gently learn
To whisper solitude to sunlight through the breaks'.
