About the event

Our ponies play an important role in managing many of our reserves. While they are not pets, they still need regular monitoring and care. Join the warden as we track down the ponies to complete a simple health check together and learn about their behaviour, habitat and why they are special members of our conservation team.

Please note that this is a children's event.
