Trotting Horse on the Open Moorland

A young horse runs freely across an expanse of wild moorland. Standing in the rural landscape is an old stone shepherd hut that offers rustic shelter on the open hillside.

Life on the Wild Moors

Shepherd huts constructed from native fieldstones provided essential shelter for farmers tending grazing sheep and horses on windswept uplands. Moorlands feature hardy vegetation like heather and coarse grasses that thrive in peaty soil and exposed highland climates. Semi-feral ponies and horses have grazed on open moors for centuries, adapting easily to rough terrain.
