In this powerful depiction of a Dartmoor pony, artist Ms Bella St John brings to life the rugged beauty of one of Britain’s endangered native breeds. The pony’s thick, wind-tousled mane and soulful eyes reflect its resilience in the face of dwindling numbers. Set against the wild and untamed moorlands, the piece evokes a deep connection to the land, where these hardy ponies have roamed for centuries. The textured strokes capture both the strength and vulnerability of the species, reminding the viewer of the urgent need to protect these gentle creatures. This painting not only showcases the Dartmoor pony’s enduring spirit but also Ms St John’s heartfelt dedication to preserving the essence of Britain’s endangered heritage. |
