We are completely devastated to report that following a tragic accident we lost our beloved Xsara this morning. Apologies to those whose lessons were cancelled I'm sure you will understand.

Please do not leave out food or water for the ponies and other Commoners’ livestock

We understand everyone’s concerns for the Forest’s animals because of the wildfire near Ringwood and this sustained period of hot weather, however, please leave them alone.

The ponies are well adapted to the Forest, and the older mares have a good knowledge of water and food sources and will lead the herds to the right spots.

Petting and feeding of New Forest ponies and donkeys is not allowed and can lead to a fine.

We are also facing an ongoing spread of equine flu, so anything that encourages ponies to congregate, such as leaving out food and water, is highly discouraged.

The Agisters and Commoners are out regularly checking on the welfare of the livestock. If you see an injured, unwell, or distressed pony, cow or donkey, please contact the Verderers of the New Forest office.
