>Hi, my name is Christine and I live in the United States. I have been
>researching the Dales Pony breed for quite some time.
>
>Unfortunately, there is not a great deal of information available and the
>few bits and pieces of information that I have come up with all lead back to
>their primary use as Pit or Pack Ponies (or their use in war).
>
>As I understand, many Pit Ponies were "grade" (mixed-breed) ponies, while
>some were pure-bred. The Dales pony was a breed commonly used as they were
>quite suitable in size, strength and stamina and were used primarily to
>transport coal and lead.
>
>I would like to know if you happen to have any information, specifically
>pertaining to the Dales Pony and its use as a Pit or Pack Pony. Any
>information (or photographs) would be extremely helpful and greatly
>appreciated.
>
>Thank you.
