The ponies came from the Moorland Mousie Trust, a charity based down on Exmoor who provide a home and future for the excess foals removed from the moor each year during the annual pony herd round up. As part of their work, they provide ponies for conservation grazing on sites across the UK. These ponies are semi-wild, only having been handled a few times to move them off the moor to the Moorland Mouse Trust’s base where they live until they are old enough to go out to grazing sites.Thu, 20 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000Louise Trenemanhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/louise-treneman/update-our-four-legged-conservation-assistants-folly-farm
