From the dales society website.Dales ponies became renowned for their great strength, iron constitution, endurance, and the ability to get over rough country fast. A pack load was 240lbs, or two pigs of lead per pony (two hundredweight) and the ponies travelled up to a hundred miles a week over some of the most difficult terrain in England.
No black.
So come on spill the beans. Tell us all about this Dales....oh ok tell me I am the nosy one.
Can I just say how envious of you I am: A grey dales mare is my ULTIMATE dream hoss!
