News from the <strong>Exmoor</strong> Pony Centre, Ashwick, Dulverton TA22 9QE<br />
Our ‘Wildlife at Night’ event, part of the Dark Skies Festival, was fully booked <strong>and</strong><br />
everyone enjoyed being with our lovely ponies <strong>and</strong> discovering some of <strong>Exmoor</strong>’s nighttime<br />
wildlife before warming up with marshmallows <strong>and</strong> hot chocolate. In October we<br />
took pony Tom to the Farmwise event at the Westpoint Arena; an event that shows<br />
children where their food comes from <strong>and</strong> teaches them more about farming <strong>and</strong> the<br />
countryside. A good time was had by all <strong>and</strong> Tom, on his best behaviour as usual, was<br />
a great hit with the children.<br />
It won’t be long now until Christmas <strong>and</strong> we have cards <strong>and</strong> calendars for sale in our<br />
online shop via our website. A pack of 10 cards with white envelopes costs £4 <strong>and</strong><br />
features <strong>Exmoor</strong> Ponies in our care. The 2020 Calendar is £6 <strong>and</strong> features <strong>Exmoor</strong><br />
Pony photographs taken at the Centre, on <strong>Exmoor</strong> <strong>and</strong> on conservation grazing sites<br />
throughout the UK. Prices are inclusive of P & P <strong>and</strong> every penny goes to help our<br />
ponies.<br />
The Centre is now closed for the winter <strong>and</strong> we will be busy taking in <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>ling the<br />
new young foals from the autumn gatherings. We re-open in February 2020.<br />
