Talking Exmoor Ponies on Somerset Cool
Dawn Westcott • July 26, 2021
Listen to Jenna Myles radio interview with Dawn Westcott about Exmoor ponies
Thank you to Jenna Myles of Somerset Cool for her interview with me about Exmoor ponies and the Exmoor Pony Project. The show aired on Sunday 25th July and you can listen to it again here https://www.mixcloud.com/FromeFM/43-somerset-cool-250721/
Jenna and I chatted about the Exmoor pony breed, how and why we founded the Exmoor Pony Project
and about some of the special characters in my books, Wild Pony Whispering, Wild Stallion Whispering
and Wild Herd Whispering.
We also talked about some of the issues facing Exmoor ponies today. Including rewilding projects in Europe, which aren't providing enough sustainable food during the winter, causing some ponies to suffer malnutrition - and what we're trying to do about it from the UK.
The interview is about 30 minutes and includes some great horsey songs and the beautiful song, Courage My Soul, by Susannah Darling Khan.
