Been out having a look at some heather cutting and checking on the Exmoor ponies on one of our larger sites today. These lovely little ponies are an important part of our grazing programme. They thrive on the larger and 'wilder' areas that require a low level of grazing. They live a semi-wild herds roaming around grazing down the rougher grasses and browsing on the unwanted scrub keeping it in check. They have very thick coats that keep them warm in the winter and are quite happy digging down through the snow to find grazing in bad weather. They are inquisitive little creatures and always come across to see what I am doing when I am there.
