Ponies on Dartmoor - History, Culture and Future

You are invited to join Charlotte and Joss from the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association as they share the importance of ponies on Dartmoor. Find out about the wild farming skills that have formed Dartmoor’s culture and history for over 4000 years, and why these native, semi wild herds can survive the moor’s harsh conditions.

This webinar is hosted by Dartmoor National Park Authority and part of a £3million National Lottery Heritage fund initiative, supported by 25 organisations. Led by the Foundation for Common Land, ‘Our Common Cause: Our Upland Commons’, involves 3 commons on Dartmoor. Concluding next year, its aim is to help secure the future of all upland commons. It has also been made possible by grants from Esmée Fairbairn, Garfield Weston Foundations plus local funders Dartmoor Preservation Association amongst others.
