One admirer gushed: "Beautiful Horses With Big Gentle Hearts.

"Lovely Adam," penned another supporter, whilst a third chimed in: "Terrific that these magnificent breeds are being saved."

Someone else remarked: "Beautiful news."

Another enthusiast continued: "Beauts - you've done a fabulous job at bringing them back into the news and supporting them."

During a past conversation, Adam opened up about his farming future, acknowledging that with his offspring showing little enthusiasm for inheriting the business, he'll depart once the tenancy expires.

The Countryfile presenter revealed plans to relocate to a neighbouring bungalow, given his children's lack of interest in continuing the family farming tradition. In a chat with the Daily Express newspaper, he shared: "My dad was ahead of his time by opening a farm for people to come and visit, bottle-feed a lamb, or hold a chick.

"While I was pulling on my wellies and chasing my dad out of the door to join him on the farm, my own children aren't interested in a career in farming.

"Sure, they can lamb a sheep and drive a tractor, but my daughter lives in Perth as an events organiser and my son is a financial advisor in Leeds."

He continued: "So when the tenancy runs out in 12 years' time, Charlie and I are moving to a bungalow close by in Winchcombe, where we have a few acres and will keep a few sheep and the dogs.

"It will be the end of an era, but I will still be able to enjoy the lovely countryside."
