Probably the oldest breed of pony with the purest bloodlines in the UK would be the Exmoor, which is now quite rare. It is estimated that the Exmoor migrated to what is now England approximately 130,000 years ago. Physically, this pony is nearly indistinguishable from wild horses of mainland Eurasia.
