"Two Men and their Ponies
Flycatcher Films, Abergavenny
This is the story of the Welsh mountain ponies, told from the point of view of a local recluse, Paul, who is a leading ecologist and former ballet-dancer. Having hung-up his ballet-shoes, Paul now spends his time in the mountains riding mountain bikes which he says is “the best way to see the ponies”. Two Men and their Ponies is a creative documentary, made by a group of eight 16 to 18-year-olds, which aims to explore the ancient bond between man and pony and acknowledge the special place the mountain pony has in the heritage and landscape of Wales."
