    In the Fochteloërveen raised bog area (on the border between the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe), Exmoor ponies are specifically used as "large herbivores" for landscape conservation.
    The robust ponies live largely wild in the reserve all year round. Their job is to prevent the rare raised bog from becoming overgrown by grazing on grasses and young birches.
    Often, you can observe the herds as they move through the vast, savanna-like landscape or seek cooling in the bog lakes on hot days.
