  thanks for the tip off ron, they are moving there on a permanent basis as i understand it.
  
  at the end of the day we still have the same number or a few more than we gad when they first arrived, by the end of summer there will be more.
  
  the lone stallion up at the western heights thinks it is birthday and christmas rolled into one.

  i would think it a stone bolt certainty jan.
  
  last time i saw the stallion he was leaning against a tree with glazed eyes and smoking a cigarette.

  great programme, it seems that they are in demand everywhere, practicality and looks.
  
  i hope we keep what we have .
  
  the best bit was when the bloke from wildwood told the story about some yobs on hospital down that were throwing stones at the ponies, this was visble from a nearby school whose pupils raced out and chased them off.

  Yes indeed well done Ron with the tip. Thanks to your tip I watched the programme myself otherwise I wouldnt have known it was on. Keep giving us your valuable input.
  
  Here is a pic of Kaddy Lee Preston with the Konik Ponies.
  
  

  

  
  
  It was a nice item but did anyone notice and ask why the programme makers into the middle of a programme about wetlands and wildlife ponies.. when they got to Dover they showed several pictures of bags of rubbish !!??
  
  It was completely out of context
