New Forest Stallion Areas 2025

Each year stallions are released onto the open forest to run with the free-roaming mares and sire the next generation of New Forest pony. The stallions are carefully selected by the Verderer’s of the New Forest, the New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society, and members of the Commoners Defence Association. Only approved stallions are permitted to breed with forest run mares. In 2025, the stallions go out on Monday 12th May and are to be removed from the Forest by Monday 23rd June.
