Although free to roam over parts of the moor, these ponies are not really wild - for example, this one has clearly had his mane trimmed recently. The ponies are actually owned by local moorland farmers, and the numbers of these and other animals (such as sheep) are controlled by the Exmoor National Park Authority.
