Critical ENPA Covid Response Grant for the Exmoor Pony Project

Exmoor National Park Authority awards a £1000 Covid Recovery Grant to Exmoor Pony Project

A huge thank you to Exmoor National Park Authority for awarding the Exmoor Pony Project a £1000 COVID19 Recovery Grant to help with the essential care and management of the ponies - specifically for high quality mineral/nutrient blocks, parasite control and hoofcare. 

With no other Government support and our normal income streams vastly compromised, it is nail-biting maintaining the high standards of care and welfare that we and the ponies insist on. 

We're managing and evolving new income streams, including our new Exmoor Compost venture, with our very well-matured Exmoor Pony Poo Multi-Purpose Compost - and it is getting a big thumbs up from gardeners across Exmoor, West Somerset and North Devon. 

Thank you Exmoor National Park for helping us to bridge the gaps while we work to evolve and safeguard this incredibly worthwhile Exmoor pony conservation project. 👍👏👏👏
