A thorough selection process of New Forest stallions ensures that the high standard and quality of the New Forest pony breed is maintained.
Each year stallions are released onto the Open Forest to run with the free-roaming mares to sire the next generation of New Forest pony. The stallions are carefully selected by the Verderer’s of the New Forest, the Commoners’ Defence Assocation and the New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society. Only approved stallions are permitted to breed and will run with the mares for only four weeks. Stallions are released on Monday 11th May and must be removed from the Forest by Monday 15th June.
