Legends of the Coal Mines :

Mining Horses “Pit Ponies” lived underground, relying on instincts and the guidance of their human partners, known as conogons.

Pit Ponies were born, worked, and perished in darkness, enduring strenuous labor.

It was common for one single horse to pull up to eight heavy coal wagons alone.

Despite their challenging circumstances, the horses maintained dignity. Refusing to move if burdened with excessive wagons and
knew when their work day should end. Finding their way back to the stables at the same time daily on their own. Navigating in the dark and carrying out their task during work hours was second nature to these muscle bound creatures.

Miners formed close bonds to their Ponies
And shared a relationship of companionship and emotional support in the deep dark mine with their horses.

The demanding work of Pit Ponies in the mines continued until 1972 when technology took over, marking the end of an era.

On December 3, 1972, Ruby, the last miner's horse, emerged from the mines in a grand fashion. Accompanied by an orchestra, Ruby, adorned with a flower wreath, was brought out of the darkness, symbolizing the conclusion of the era of mining horses. 🌄🐴⛏️
