Adam Henson Highlights Exmoor Foal Safeguards on Countryfile as He Announces 14 New Piglets

The presenter relies on a management team to keep Bemborough Farm running during filming.

Overview

  • Sunday’s Countryfile episode showed two Exmoor foals, Roxy and Rosie, receiving vet checks, microchips and DNA sampling to confirm lineage and record ownership.
  • Adam Henson noted the breed’s scarcity, saying only a couple of thousand Exmoor ponies exist worldwide with roughly 200 foals born annually in the UK.
  • He said recent filming, including a Christmas special in Cornwall, left him tired, and he credited partner Duncan Andrews and senior staff with maintaining operations.
  • Bemborough Farm doubles as Cotswolds Farm Park and runs arable crops along with a commercial flock of about 350 ewes, drawing thousands of visitors each year.
  • On Monday, Henson shared an Instagram update that 14 Landrace piglets were born, outlining the use of a freedom farrowing pen to protect the litter.
