Ethology and Horses -Photographers

Photography is a very effective conservation and educational tool. It is a powerful tool for raising awareness, documenting biodiversity, supporting research, educating the public, and fundraising, all of which are important for effective conservation efforts.

WEN promotes the work of those who document and publicize the need for the conservation of feral and wild equid populations.

Meet the growing team of WEN photographers who capture and document the lives of equids through their lenses. Kudos to all who have chosen to join our network!

Tricia Gibson – Member of The Exmoor Pony Society

Projects: Over the last few years I have been spending one day a week on Exmoor in the area around Dunkery Beacon watching and documenting the lives of the semi-feral Exmoor ponies that live and breed there. Observing them has taught me much about equine behaviour and I regularly share the images I take with the herd owners and also the Exmoor Pony Society who promote this endangered native breed.
