Pit ponies were used to haul carts of coal and other materials in underground mines. They helped transport materials from the working face to the surface since machinery was not always practical in these confined spaces.
Pit ponies were horses which were used underground in coal mines to pull carts of coal. The horses spent their lives underground and were exposed to harmful mine gases frequently. These animals worked long hours, and many of them died due to exhaustion or from injuries.
Also called "pit ponies" Shetlands were used for going down in coal mines to haul carts loaded with coal. Already small and hardy from the islands they developed on, they became a smaller and stronger breed through this hard work, which is now why the shetland holds the record for the strongest breed, for their size. Now a days, however, they are more a child's mount, and are sometimes used for pulling carts.

Trains were first used for hauling coal in and out of mines. They were pulled by horses, mules, and/or, donkeys. The first steam locomotive was built in 1804 by Richard Threvithick.
Pit ponies faced several disadvantages, including harsh working conditions in dark, cramped mines that often led to health issues. Their limited mobility and inability to escape dangerous situations exposed them to accidents and injuries. Additionally, once their working days were over, they often faced neglect or abandonment, as many owners were reluctant to provide proper care for retired ponies. The lack of humane treatment and the physical toll of their labor contributed to a life of suffering for these animals.
