The largest breeder of purebred Shetland Ponies in the southeast, Dowd Pony Farm, started in 1953, is located in Chatham County. Beginning with a herd of 14, Dowd Pony Farm expanded to 127 ponies by 1956. Fetching between $5,000 and $5,600 per pony, the Dowds run a lucrative business from their country ranch, located near the Devil's Tramping Ground.
