To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The highest price (figure not recorded) was paid for a bay stallion, five years old and 13 hands high.
Whether Youatt refers to the improved breed or not it is impossible to say : but that authority states that about the year i860 a farmer who weighed 14 stone rode an Exmoor pony from Bristol to South Molton, a distance of 86 miles, beating the coach which travelled the same road. This feat proves the pony to have been both fast and enduring.
A most competent authority who a couple of years ago
... paid a visit to Simonsbath to inspect the ponies of the district, describes the "Acland" as a wonderfully thorough- bred looking and handsome pony with fine lean head, intelligent eye and good limbs.
The only fault he had to find was in the matter of size : he considered it a shade too small for general purposes.
The " Knights" were described as larger than the " Aclands " : they also retain the thoroughbred look derived from the Arab and other alien blood introduced by Mr.
Knight in the second quarter of the century.
