The Exmoor Ponies were first brought to Edinburgh by Mary Etherington in 1949, and this volume was written by current trek leaders from the Edinburgh University Exmoor Pony Trekking Society (EUEPTS) to celebrate the 75th year of this.
The Edinburgh Exmoor Ponies position in the Exmoor world was pivotal to early research and conservation efforts of the still-endangered breed. Chronicling the trekking and breeding initiatives through the years, this book aims to be a first-hand look at the herd and the student society that grew around it. Filled to the brim with old pictures, interviews and newspaper articles, this is the must-have book for all Exmoor pony lovers, as well as a reflection on both the history of Edinburgh and the Royal (Dick) School for Veterinary Studies.
