My friends daughter is over from New Zealand,and over the weekend they went to Sutton Park and came across the cows that roam there.
She baffled him with a simple question: Why are their cows there?
We have googled but couldn't come up with an answer......
Over to you guys :)

Bit about the Ponies

Sutton Park Exmoor Pony Grazing Scheme


Exmoor ponies were introduced to Sutton Park in July 1999 in an effort to maintain a heath and acid grassland habitat in the Bracebridge area, protecting it from birch and woodland encroachment. In other Exmoor pony trials, not only has the plant species composition been maintained, but birds (such as the nightjar on Skipwith Common, Yorkshire) and butterflies (such as the High Brown fritillary in Silverdale, Cumbria) have also benefitted. 'Before and after' effects have been and continue to be monitored in Sutton Park.
