Mountain and moorland pony breeds

Mountain and moorland, frequently abbreviated M&M, is a classification of nine pony breeds native to the British Isles that originated on the moorlands, heaths, highlands and uplands. These breeds are domesticated for riding, driving, and other draught work, though some breeders keep semi-feral herds for conservation purposes. Mountain and moorland classes are common at horse shows in the British Isles.
