Published on 27/Apr/2010
On the 9th April, PONT with the support of CCW released nine Carneddau mountain ponies onto Penaran, the project’s FCW site on the Migneint SAC.
After a few tense ‘will they wont they’ moments wondering whether they would leave the security of their trailer, the ponies were soon off exploring their new home and sampling the tasty vegetation that Penaran has to offer.
Ponies make excellent grazers of the regenerating blanket bog as they deal well with the rough terrain, changeable weather and less palatable vegetation. They will be on site year round and a local farmer has been contracted to look after them.
