🌿🐴 Tradition Meets Modern Concerns in Rhossili 🌿🐴
For generations, the majestic sight of grazing horses has been a cherished part of Rhossili’s landscape on the beautiful Gower Peninsula. But this long-standing tradition is facing a challenge. Due to complaints about a stallion and concerns over safety, the National Trust is now considering removing some of these iconic animals.
While the Trust points out that the number of horses exceeds the agreed limit, local farmers and residents passionately defend their presence. Rob Morgan, a local farmer, highlighted how vital these horses are, not just for maintaining trails and promoting biodiversity, but as guardians of a rich cultural heritage. “They’ve grazed these lands for hundreds of years,” Rob shares, expressing the significance of these animals to the community.
The Trust aims to balance safety, animal welfare, and ecological health, striving for a solution that respects both tradition and modern-day needs. It’s a classic case of old meets new, and many are hopeful for a resolution that benefits all.
Let’s cherish our heritage and work towards a future where tradition and safety go hand in hand. What do you think about this situation? Share your thoughts in the comments! 🌿❤️ #RhossiliHorses #GowerTraditions #HeritageVsSafety
