THEATRICAL presentations reigning in on the iconic Dartmoor Pony will be taking place at various moorland locations.

'Cauda Equina – The Horse's Tale' is a celebration in theatre of stories, work, relationships, myth, song and natural history through the ages to present day with Devon's native pony breed the Dartmoor Pony.

It is a culmination of a six month action research project called 'Making It Home' considering travel and transport at foot speeds and by Dartmoor pack pony, carried out through community workshop, walking investigations, interviews with local farmers and village hall residencies led by Devon artist Rosalyn Maynard.

'Making it Home' also includes a mentoring project for seven young emerging artists and a special commission to research, develop and produce a UK bespoke, pack pony saddle made by master saddler Johan Ulved of Viking Saddlery.

There will be two shows at Postbridge Village Hall tomorrow (Friday, September 2) at 8pm and Saturday at 3pm.

There will be a third outdoor performance at the foot of Bellever Tor near Postbridge at The Round House on the Lych Way, between 2pm and 3pm, on Sunday, September 11 and this final show forms part of the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust's and the Dartmoor National Park Authority's activities and events on Bellever Day.

The Postbridge residency began on August 28 following a two day walking investigation across the moors when the team of artists spent the week on foot.

Daisy Martinez, one of the artists involved in the project, said: 'I feel that "Making It Home' is a project that sits right at the heart of the questions that we are living through at this time of environmental flux.

'What is important, and vital, is that it addresses the changes we are facing as personal ones. We are encouraged to focus not on inaccessible concepts when regarding climate change, but on how these processes will express themselves in our own lives, in context, at home, in ways that we can understand.
