Two Eriskay ponies embrace each other in Eriskay, Scotland. The ponies are an endangered, ancient breed native to the Outer Hebrides islands of western Scotland. With around 400 remaining, they are known for their fine gray coat that develops as they age. The people of Eriskay care for the ponies as they roam the village, and the Eriskay Pony Society has been working with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust to bolster the population of pure Eriskay ponies.
