Additional tasks may include:
* Occasional backstepping/grooming for our single, pairs and team of carriage driving ponies
“l love volunteering for Fell Pony Adventures. It means I get to be around horses I can’t afford to have of my own, it fits around my life and I love being part of the conservation of a rare herd of ponies who are living how native Fell ponies should be, on the fells where they are part of nature and the landscape of Cumbria.”
