Ah, but they are not left to fend for themselves. Every pony is owned by a farmer. It is every farmers responsibility to make sure they are well fed etc. At this time of year, especially when the winter still has its grasp on Dartmoor, the ponies are often given extra hay to eat. I often see them coming towards the car parks where the farmer usually off loads the hay for them. The ones that live further into the moors are given extra too.
