Among the many animals at Ravenseat, one has formed a particularly special bond with a member of the Owen family.
Few pairings on Our Yorkshire Farm were as recognisable as Clemmie Owen and Tony the Pony.
Amanda and Clive Owen's second-youngest daughter became a firm favourite while growing up at Ravenseat and helping with jobs on the remote Swaledale farm.

The family's Shetland pony was often seen with Clemmie, creating some of the show's most memorable moments.
Amanda said in one episode: "Clem loves Tony, she's got all sorts of ideas on what she wants to do with him and all the rest of it."
While Clemmie had visions of growing up alongside Tony, he had other ideas - growing "sideways" rather than "up" and eventually being put on a diet.
Amanda said caring for Tony was teaching Clemmie about diet, exercise and the responsibility of looking after an animal.
Another memorable glimpse into Tony's place in Owen family life came as the children prepared to return to school after spending weeks at home during the coronavirus restrictions.
The Owen children said Tony seemed to know when it was time for school and would come to the door to say goodbye.

Their relationship became so popular that some fans called for Clemmie and Tony to get their own spin-off show.
After Clemmie started school, Tony appeared less often, leaving fans eager for updates about the beloved pony.
Even after Our Yorkshire Farm ended, fans were still keen to hear how Tony was getting on.
Now, years after audiences first watched Clemmie learning to care for him, Tony has returned to screens in the Owen family's latest series, Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.

The October 12 episode once again showed Clemmie tending to Tony as she explained how she helps him avoid foot rot and keeps his mane brushed and maintained.
While giving the pony some fuss, she said: "You like some TLC, don't you Tony?"
The episode also saw the Owen family visit Beamish Museum as work continued on Anty John's - their centuries-old farmhouse restoration project.
For long-time viewers, Clemmie and Tony's reunion was a nostalgic reminder of their early days on Our Yorkshire Farm.
