The Americans have decided to change the badge after negotiating some new investment with some French billionaire or something ( French like to eat horse apparently) and they've insisted it be taken off

Inevitable 'Tractor' appearing shortly.
God, how I hate us being called tractorboys.
Ashton’s in the US this week so did wonder if it was a teaser for some daft plan but I’ve since been told that it’s for National Wildlife Day. Forest have done similar with their badge. I still don’t get the link as horses aren’t wild but never mind!

I remember a few years ago the club did this and it was to raise awareness of how endangered the Suffolk Punch is as a breed, so I'm guessing it's something along those lines again.
Seems a good idea to get people talking.

Nature? They're from a selectively bred mix of Fell and Dales ponies with the European Haflinger, designed by humans to make our tasks easier. Hardly natural. Hmm, unless we're part of nature too and everything we do is by extension is also natural?
Town announcing a significant new advertising deal with an American company called Kum & Go, and they want a new logo on the home page which better reflects Kum & Go instead of the Suffolk Punch

Now I'm confused.
The entire English landscape looks & is as it is now precisely because humans have been designing it to make our tasks easier - farming, forestry, roads etc. for thousands of years. That doesn't make it not 'nature' now..
And the Suffolk Punch, as a draught horse, has helped shape that landscape -ploughing in pre-tractor days, still engaged in forestry to minimise the impact of machinery within forests, etc.

Horses are wild on Exmoor and in the New Forest.

I was mansplaining this to my kids when we were in the Black Mountains last week. We had cracking views across the brown hills with the patchwork of green fields in between. I was telling them how even though the hills may look more ‘natural’, all of the landscape was altered from how it would have been without humans. They weren’t impressed!
This talk reminds me of this, which was one of our core texts in my geography degree:

Haha, maybe they’ll be rewilders in due course!
Soz if my reply seemed a bit “teaching teacher to suck eggs”, hadn’t seen who I was replying to.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Doubt there are many Suffolk Punch’s there! Still think the link is tenuous but glad it’s another empty gesture rather than something going on with the badge (which was why I was curious to find out what it was for originally).
