 |
| "Discovering Exmoor Ponies" tells the story | |
| of a remarkable and very rare pony. Few animals | |
| are as enigmatic as the Exmoor Pony. On the | |
| one hand, full of natural wisdom and able to live | |
| independently in the wild. Yet, once tamed and | |
| trained, willing to place their trust in people. | |
| Film-maker Alan Tibbitts spent a year | |
| capturing both Exmoor pony worlds, filming on | |
| Exmoor and throughout the British isles: free- | |
| living ponies in blizzards, torrential rain and soft | |
| summer sun; herds being gathered in from the | |
| moors in the autumn; scenes of ponies roaming | |
| free against the backdrop of lochs and mountains | |
| in Scotland. | |
| The film also explores the lives of ponies that | |
| leave the wild existence and reveals the wide | |
| range of activities they are capable of with | |
| people: endurance riding; trekking; showing; | |
| competitive and pleasure driving; riding and | |
| driving for the disabled; and providing so much | |
| enjoyment and fun. | |
