OWNER ZOE CLARKE
“IN 2019, I was on the hunt for a mountain and moorland [M&M] first ridden prospect for my nine-year-old daughter, Grace. I was keen on a Dartmoor as I love the breed, although many have tried to steer me away as they are notoriously quirky. Charley Baxter put me in touch with Dartmoor specialist and producer Julie Barton.
“When I saw ‘Harry’, who was then an entire, I just loved him. He had the most beautiful head as well as something special, which I can’t describe. I bought him from Elaine Arnold and he was gelded before heading to Charley’s yard.
