The New Forest (so called because it was ‘new’ in 1079) has a lot of wild ponies roaming around, having lived in the area for some 2000 years.
This was my first visit to the area on a beautiful crisp and summer-is-almost-over day. I may return in Autumn to catch some of the colours, although I’ll make sure not to get stuck in the boggy areas next time…

As soon as I uncover the unicorn grove I’ll make a start on that!

So good to know the wild ponies are still there. I remember visiting the New Forest as a child.

I was surprised at how many there are. Maybe as close to the prairies as you get in the UK
