The word "tor" is also used in southern Wales, particularly on the rocky coastlines such as the Vale of Glamorgan and the Gower peninsula;... The term is notable for being, along with crag, one among a mere handful of Celtic loan-words(Cornish tor, Old Welsh twrr, Scots Gaelic tòrr).

In 1898, the Polo Pony Society(now the National Pony Society) set up Local Committees to produce descriptions of each of England's native breeds. Apart from the height, the original description of the Dartmoor was almost identical to the present breed standard.... Dartmoor ponies stand an average of twelve hands(48") at the withers. They are dark in color, mostly bay, brown or black with an occasional gray or chestnut. White markings, if any, are very small. As a hearty moorland breed, the Dartmoor is sturdy in conformation, more similar to a warm blood type than to the elegant Welsh.

Le Poney Dartmoor est originaire d'un plateau aride du sud de l'Angleterre qui lui a donné son nom et sa remarquable rusticité. Ce biotope sévère a garanti depuis des siècles la pureté de la race. Le Poney Dartmoor est un poney infatigable, capable de fournir plus d'effort que sa taille permettrait de le supposer. Apprécié par les Poneys Club pour faire monter de jeunes enfants, la possibilité de les faire monter par des adultes permet de les amener à un stade de dressage très avancé. Sa docilité et sa forte musculature en font un poney très apprécié en attelage et à l'obstacle.
