Wild Heritage

Discover the art of photographing Britain’s native pony breeds under the guidance of award-winning wildlife photographer Kevin Morgans. Kevin offers a unique opportunity to capture the beauty, heritage, and spirit of these iconic animals while exploring the important role they play in shaping and preserving the landscapes they inhabit.

✺ NATIVE PONIES OF BRITAIN

Britain’s native pony breeds are among the country’s most enduring symbols of wildness, heritage, and resilience. From the rugged Fell ponies of the Lake District to the free-roaming Carneddau ponies of the Welsh mountains, these remarkable animals have shaped and been shaped by the landscapes they inhabit for centuries.

✺ ARCHITECTS OF OUR LAND

Britain’s native pony breeds are among the country’s greatest natural architects, helping shape and preserve the wild landscapes of the British Isles through centuries of natural grazing. These remarkable animals play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, maintaining fragile habitats, and sustaining the balance of some of our most iconic natural environments.

✺ PROTECT THE LEGaCY

By documenting native ponies honestly and respectfully within their natural environments, we not only celebrate their beauty and heritage, but also highlight their ecological importance and role within Britain’s living landscapes. Through responsible photography, we can help strengthen the connection between people, wildlife, and their landscapes

UPCOMING EXPERIENCES

“The pony workshop with Kevin was a rare and unique experience. Kevin knows the hills like the back of his hand. The session was informative, providing photographic guidance and technical support and rare encounters with the majestic animals gave me a fascinating insight into their behavior. We wandered across stunning scenery on an exciting and rewarding day capturing mystical silhouettes and intimate close-up shots of one inquisitive youngster. Kevin’s passion for the ponies is infectious and I have since viewed these beautiful animals with an entirely new lens!”

Cate - Spirit Of The Carneddau Workshop
"I had a wonderful time on a Carneddau pony workshop with Kevin, which, given the weather, was an amazing achievement! When I look at the photos I took, I can see a difference between those I took with Kevin’s guidance and what I would have taken on my own. I have more variety and they are technically better. I’m really chuffed to feel that I learned something and I loved the ponies and locations. As well as that, I enjoyed Kevin’s company and appreciated that he went ahead despite the weather conditions (prolonged pouring rain), that he was so good-natured about it all, and that he picked me up from the hotel! It was great to get expert and knowledgeable guidance from such a skilled, award-winning photographer. During the day, Kevin focussed on helping me (rather than taking his own photos) which I appreciated very much. I can highly recommend Kevin’s workshops ”

Helen - Spirit Of The Carneddau Workshop
“A wonderful day with the beautiful wild ponies. I feel privileged to have been able to get so close to them and be in their territory. Kevin was good company and shared his extensive knowledge about the ponies. It is clear he has a great passion for them. Kevin was generous with his time with individuals giving encouragement and passing on his field craft techniques to help us set up for good shots. We didn’t get the sun but that didn’t dampen Kevin’s enthusiasm in attempting to get good photographs"

Kate - Spirit Of The Carneddau Workshop
“Had a really enjoyable day photographing the beautiful wild ponies with Kevin. His enthusiasm and knowledge knew no bounds and even though the sun didn’t make an appearance I managed to capture the ponies in their natural environment. A brilliant day🐴”

Janet - Spirit Of The Carneddau Workshop
“Absolutely excellent wildlife photography tour to North Finland and Norway. We had a full itinerary photographing many species. The sessions in the floating hides with three species of sea ducks were great and the days on Hornøya unforgettable. The guides were lovely and very helpful and between them had superb knowledge on birds and photography. The group we travelled with were amazing and a lot of laughs were had. This ranks as one of the best wildlife photography tours I've been on”
