| 520 | _a"Ponies Past and Present" by Sir Walter Gilbey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores various pony breeds indigenous to the British Isles, documenting their characteristics, breeding practices, and historical significance. Through a detailed examination of breeds like the New Forest Pony, Welsh Pony, and Dartmoor Pony, Gilbey aims to shed light on the importance of these animals in agriculture and recreation. At the start of the volume, Gilbey introduces the increasing interest in pony breeding, particularly for polo, and hints at a rich history of ponies in the British landscape. He discusses the early origins of horses and ponies in Britain, noting their low stature and the factors contributing to the diverse pony breeds that exist today. The opening sets the stage for a deeper dive into specific breeds and their lineage, exploring how legislative measures by historical figures like Henry VIII attempted to regulate pony breeding while also highlighting the survival and adaptation of these animals in the face of changing agricultural needs.
