 In
2006 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a number of radio programmes dedicated
to native ponies.
In the five part series, presenter Dylan Winter explored the
blend of genes, breeding, influences of domestication and use
across the centuries that has resulted in the nine recognised
native pony breeds found on the British Isles today. Rare Steeds
charts the history, innate character and importance of these
breeds and their changing fortunes and relevance in modern day
Britain.
