Four horses are being used to manage the land as part of a conservation project in West Yorkshire.
"Unimproved grasslands like these are increasingly being lost due to intensive farming methods," he said. "The grasslands are home to rare fungi like waxcaps, which exist in symbiosis with plants, insects and mammals. Conservation grazing is key to ensuring the future of these rare ecosystems."Some of the species in the fields have only been sighted once or twice in the UK before, and many are on the red data list for at risk species.
The horses, called Dolce, Quaver, Dorito and Pom are provided by the Moorland Mousie Trust, a UK charity which focuses on the preservation of Exmoor ponies.
