Horses, the Landscape and You

Horse owning and riding is an increasingly popular activity that is growing across the south west of England including within the Dorset AONB. How horses are cared for and the developments associated with keeping a horse have a significant impact on the character and quality of the AONBs special landscape.

The South West Protected Landscapes Forum in partnership with the British Horse Society and The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) have produced a publication for horse keepers in the south west - The publication " Horses, the Landscape and You " provides guidance , information and contacts to help make sure horses are well cared for and make a positive contribution to our landscape.
