On my first visit to New Zealand when I was 25 years old, I rode horses the length of both the North and South Island with a friend. During our six month journey I fell in love with the country and its friendly people. In this little book I combine my interest in sheep, as I used to keep my own small flock, with my passion for photographing New Zealand's magnificent landscapes.
Dartmoor Pony Gathering at Hedgebarton. The Dartmoor Pony Society in conjunction with the Duchy of Cornwall runs an upgrading Newtake scheme on Dartmoor, when approved non registered mares are selected to run in Newtakes (Enclosed areas of land) where they run with a registered licenced Pure Bred Dartmoor stallion. I was collecting two mares from Hedgebarton on Dartmoor.
At Widecombe Fair i showed my black stallion Ebony, who was very strong being so excited at being at the Fair with many other horses, ponies and activities going on! I also showed my mare Shilstone Rocks Sappora and her foal Cuckoo who was complimented by the judge at being so well behaved. After Ebony being rather a handful in the showring!
