Exmoor Pony Branding at an End?

The Exmoor pony is one of Britain's oldest breeds which have traditonally been branded with hot irons as foals to maintain purity and their identify as a semi-feral equine.

Around 400 Exmoor ponies run wild in the South West of England. They are owned by different farmers who round them up annually to brand the foals, which they say is necessary to maintain the purity and health of the breed and confirm ownership.

Many people have claimed the practice is cruel and under new EU rules, all ponies can now be fitted with microchips instead. However, the UK has been given special permission to use both microchips and branding for the time being.
