If you don't know this, go back to your riding lessons.
Seriously - you sound like an ignorant child whose parents have a bit of money and have said they can have a pony.
You need lessons in riding AND stable management before you have your own. And even then you should loan before you own. I rode for 3 years before I got my first pony - 3 lessons a week (2 riding, 1 stable management), my mum is horsey and horses have been in our family at some point since at least the 1920's
Yes! Of course you can, as long as you are not too big. There's nothing unusual about exmoors, they are just a fairly standard pony breed. If you're not sure about whether you are too big, get someone more experienced to have a look at you on the pony.
If they are broken in to ride then yes. The are very strong and hard working - when the mood takes them. When not, you have a fight on your hands. They are very wiley, they learn very quickly and that can be their undoing. If they can get away with anything they will. They are very hardy, prone to laminitis as are all the native breeds, so need very little feeding to keep them going. They can jump as well as the next horse or pony and are very sure footed.
It's not like they're a completely different species of equine, like a zebra. They're just a breed of pony. That's like asking if Thoroughbreds can be ridden.
