During the Second World War, Munnings’ home in Essex was requisitioned by the Army, who wished to make use of Castle House and its 40 acres of grounds. His wife, Violet, kept a small cottage in Exmoor as a hunting box; and it was there that he spent much of the war. The rural isolation appeared to do him good: he was more at peace with himself during his time on Exmoor than at any time since his visits to Cornwall more than 30 years previously.

Most of the horses that Munnings kept at Castle House had been slaughtered due to the war effort, and he was forced to find fresh sources of inspiration. This duly came in the form of the Exmoor ponies, who were threatened during the war years by the use of Exmoor as a training ground: only 50 were to survive the war.
