Peers Clough Packhorses are based at Peers Clough Farm in the Rossendale Valley in the South Pennines .
The South Pennines is "a wild, wonderful and occasionally wuthering landscape at the place where Yorkshire and Lancashire collide. A land of steep-sided valleys, heather-covered moorland, canals, reservoirs and packhorse trails."
www.southpennines.co.uk
The "packhorses" are locally bred Fell ponies from the Wellbrow stud.
Fell ponies do not exceed 14hh but can carry up to 14 stone because of their wide bodies and sturdy legs.
They are placid and surefooted as well as being full of character and fun to ride.
