The Litcham Common Ponies
The
major focus over the
past few months has continued to be the project to reintroduce grazing
on the common, using Dartmoor ponies. Four ponies have been purchased
but unfortunately one has gone lame and is currently in stables in
North Elmham. The three remaining ponies were bought to Litcham Common
on the 17th June.

The progress of the grazing
proposals has been reported on an ongoing basis in ‘Church &
Village’ magazine and also on this website. The Management
Committee is grateful for the feedback received and also to the members
of the public who have volunteered to help look after the ponies once
they arrive.
The Management Committee is keen to
include the local community in the grazing project as much as possible
and is pleased that Litcham Primary School has shown an interest.
Anyone else who would like to help, or has questions or comments, is
asked to speak to a member of the Management Committee.
