The social behaviour of a small herd of 10 Exmoor geldings, two Exmoor mares and one Highland pony gelding was studied in order to see whether any specific associations existed between ponies and, if so, whether these applied to all or only some of the ponies' main activities of grazing, eating hay and sleeping. Such relationships were found but only in a small number of cases did they apply to all activities. The results are discussed in relation to the individual histories of these ponies and in relation to the welfare of horses.
对一小群共13匹马（10匹埃克斯穆尔种公马、2匹埃克斯穆尔种母马和1匹高地小马种公马）的社会行为进行了研究，以确定马之间是否存在任何特定的关联；如果存在，这些关联是否适用于马的所有主要活动，还是仅适用于部分活动，如放牧、吃干草和睡觉。确实发现了这样的关系，但仅在少数情况下这些关系适用于所有活动。结合这些马的个体经历以及马的福利对研究结果进行了讨论。
