Last winter saw the arrival of five Exmoor ponies on Woolacombe down (the high ground south of Potters Hill) Brought in by the National trust to help manage the diverse habitat there are now six of them. During our Saturday walks to check on their water and health, Zoe and I witnessed lots of different behaviour. Here is a clip of two of them in late spring this year. If you do make the climb to see them, Johnathon the NT Warden asks for you to keep your distance, not to feed them (they become aggressive to walkers if they think they can get food) and of course remember to shut all the gates. All through the year there are different displays of flowers and wild life up there, its always worth the steep climb.
