Dartmoor covers an area of 368 square miles (954 km2), making it the largest and wildest area of open country in the south west of England. Ponies have roamed Dartmoor for thousands of years and are an integral part of the landscape, attracting many visitors to the National Park.
The Dartmoor Pony is a new edition of A Celebration of the Dartmoor Pony, and contains a beautiful collection of photographs taken by Tracey Elliot-Reep over the past two decades through all the seasons, complete with informative text on the history and present day life of the Dartmoor pony.
Tracey Elliot-Reep grew up on her mother’s Shilstone Rocks stud farm in South West England. She now has her base producing cards, calendars and books in Widecombe-in-the-Moor on Dartmoor. After completing art college she worked and sketched the animals in a travelling circus and then travelled through Europe and North America, teaching horse riding before qualifying as a photographer in South Wales. For five years she worked as a freelance photojournalist for magazines, during which time she interviewed Royalty at Buckingham Palace, and she rode the length of New Zealand.
