This photo is of a late summer sunset on Bodmin Moor - it really gives the idea of how harsh the landscape and environment is for ponies there to survive in. Bodmin Moor is where Topsy was seized from in emaciated condition so I expect she really appreciates her retirement in the much lusher lowlands "upcountry"!
This also reminds me that there are only a few weeks now until the wild pony markets start...so spare a thought for all those foals whose lives are going to be turned upsidedown in about 4 weeks time...
The moors can be very beautiful but they are also very harsh in many ways (in environment and tradition) for the animals that live there!
