History and Development

The British spotted ponies were feral in the British Isles before being domesticated. There have been records of spotted ponies being imported by the Romans. While they roamed the forests and heaths of ancient Britain since the ice age, their spotted coat pattern provided them with natural camouflage.

Centuries later, the British Spotted Ponies had become popular, and remained so throughout the history of the country. Because of their striking coloration, they were sold for big amounts of money.

From time to time, many spotted stallions and mares, including those that were sent as gifts from other royal families from other parts of Europe, were incorporated to develop such spotted foals that would be genetically more efficient and good looking. They have also been mentioned often in the old Welsh stud books.

Interesting Facts

A 19th-century painting shows a spotted horse drawing a carriage, wherein a lady is seen seated inside, while a spotted Dalmatian dog is following it. The lady is thought to be Queen Victoria.

Some spotted specimens might not be eligible to get registered if they have visible striped hooves or white sclera in the eyes.

In the present day, there is a total of 800 registered ponies in the stud book. However, it is believed that, there are many unregistered British spotted ponies do exist.

The smallest British spotted are the most popular, and get the highest prices.

This pony became fashionable during the Victorian era. During the 1940s, both the horses and ponies were registered, while in 1947, initiative was taken for the preservation of its DNA, and the association named the ‘British Spotted Horse and Pony Society’ was founded to get these equines registered.
