Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of North Devon, where the rolling hills offer a breathtaking view of Exmoor, lies a smallholding and riding stables committed to harmonising equine care with environmental stewardship.
Traditionally, horse paddocks are synonymous with short, overgrazed land that often lacks vitality for wildlife. However, the forward-thinking landowners in this idyllic setting are determined to transform their acreage into a haven for both horses and biodiversity.
Collaborating with Protect Earth, their ambitious plan spans the next two years, aiming to introduce more than 700 trees, cultivate extensive wildlife-friendly hedging, and establish enchanting wildflower meadows.
