Rare Polka-Dot Pony Spotted In Devon

The foal was born last week but his owners say his real name is Pongo. His mother is a Dartmoor pony but his father is a British Spotted pony. They come in several colour types including 'blanket' where the animal has a plain base coat with a white spotted blanket over its quarters and back. There is also 'snowflake' where the creature has white spots on a dark base coat. Others are called 'few spot' and have hardly any spots at all. Pongo is a 'leopard spot' because he has coloured spots on a white base coat.
