A small herd of wild horses are being used to help with the conservation of an east Kent nature reserve. Five Konik ponies will graze on land at Gibbin's Brook, between the villages of Sellindge and Stanford, near Hythe. It is one of only three surviving pieces of fenland in Kent, and the horses will help prevent it from being invaded by shrubs and trees.
