Rex Milton owns one of the oldest surviving Exmoor Pony herds on the moor. As he tells Sarah Swadling, they have been part of his family's mixed hill farm for generations.
Rex Milton is in charge of one of Exmoor's oldest herds of semi-wild ponies. Sarah Swadling finds out about the history of the herd, and the breed itself. As Rex explains, there's now a niche market for them as riding ponies and show animals. Sarah also learns about the vital role that Exmoor ponies play in keeping down the gorse, so that the moorland heather can thrive.
Produced and Presented by Sarah Swadling.
