St Tiggywinkles: Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital St Tiggywinkles is world renowned for its work rescuing and rehabilitating hedgehogs. But, as Julia discovered, they don't just work with the animals that gave them their name. In fact, as the numbers of red kites rise, more and more of them are finding their way into the local wildlife hospital.

Katie travelled to this stunning area to help plant the forest and find out how Highland cattle are used to manage the landscape once the trees are established. Horse Boarding: Extreme Horse Riding: What is extreme sport? Horses have been an integral part of life on Exmoor for centuries. But today, instead of being used to pull a plough through a field, they're pulling people as part of a new extreme activity. Horse boarding is the latest adrenaline fuelled sport - and, as Matt and Jules found out, it's hair-raising stuff. Suffolk Punch: The Suffolk Punch Trust The Suffolk Punch Horse was once famous for its use in agriculture, but after the Second World War the population declined to such an extent that it's now endangered.
