For those of you
wondering where the ponies up on Enys Head have gone, don’t worry. They’ve just
moved next door to Kildown Point.
We had a great
time moving them on Tuesday, getting very wet in the process as the weather
fancied doing a bit of everything. In between glorious sunshine, the squalls
would disappear out to sea as quickly as they came, giving us no time to put
waterproofs on and leaving us sodden.
The ponies were
great fun and as good as gold to move, they followed Beth, a fellow full time
volunteer (FTV), without hesitation (probably because she had a big bucket of
pony nuts). As soon as they saw greener pastures however, they were off with a
snort and a whinny, charging as fast as their stubby legs could carry them,
even old saggy belly managed a fast trot from the back of the herd.

It great to see
the ponies in their new area, they’re looking really well and are loving the
new grazing. A perfect partnership between man and beast! (especially if you
have pony nuts). It’s all part of the big project to return the cliff tops to
their former botanical state, allowing the many rarities to flourish again and,
of course, to provide ideal habitat for our choughs.
We’ll keep you posted on the goings on of our Lovable
Trustables, so keep an eye out and keep enjoying the outdoors!
See you soon peeps,
Ed (FTV).
