The Wag From Widecombe becomes new DPHT Patron
You can imagine how delighted we were when Tony Beard, otherwise known as the Wag From Widecombe, agreed to be a Patron. Tony is a keen preserver of Devon life and culture. Tony has spent many happy years as a farmer. He talks of his love of the moors, countryside traditions and the characters who live and work on the moor in his Radio Devon 'Dartmoor Diary'.
The Dartmoor Pony is the emblem of Dartmoor, but then some would say Tony is!

TV Celebrity Presenter Matt Baker has just accepted the role of Patron of the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust. Matt is best known for his long association with Blue Peter and gained further fame in the popular “Only Fools On Horses”.
Earlier this Summer Matt came to Dartmoor to work with the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust for BBC 1’s “Countryfile Summer Diaries”. Matt was so taken with his “charge” Fern; a yearling Dartmoor filly, that he even wanted to take her home to Durham with him after his handling experience.
We are over the moon to have such a well loved presenter as a patron of our trust who genuinely embraces our ethos. "Saving Dartmoor Ponies Through Innovative Education."

Johnny Kingom takes on the role of DPHT Patron following his Dartmoor Pony Experience.
Earlier this summer Johnny came down to Dartmoor filming for his new 10 part series on BBC2. We trained Johnny how to tame a completely wild filly, a difficult task, but imagine how we felt when we heard he was scared of horses. Well the sessions went brilliantly, Johnny worked with Dru and Vanessa, it was pretty emotional stuff watching Johnny tame the filly, he has a genuine love of animals that shines through. We hope you enjoy his new series and we will post the date of the filly taming when confirmed.
