All of the ponies found in the forest are wild in the sense they can roam freely but in fact they are owned by New Forest Commoners. Important information on New Forest ponies e New Forest National Park is a wonderful place to visit and you can help it stay that way by being a Forest friendly visitor. For their safety and your own please leave the animals alone - although owned and cared for by local people called commoners, they are unpredictable and best treated as wild. Please don’t feed or pet them ; there is plenty of natural food and it’s best that they don’t come to rely on people’s attention. ey may look friendly but they can bite and kick, especially ponies with foals. Keep your distance! Remember, too, that these animals are not tame - the gentlest looking pony can also kick and bite and children are particularly vulnerable to them. Sadly, many animals are killed or injured by car drivers. Ponies (and cattle) have no road sense and are likely to cross in front of tra c at any time. Please remember animals have the right of way on all the roads in the Forest. ere is a maximum speed limit of 40mph on unfenced Forest roads. e use of re ective collars on ponies is a measure some Commoners use to attempt to reduce the number of accidents involving ponies; however not all of the ponies and few cows have these collars so drive with extreme care at night time. If you are involved in a road tra c accident with a pony it is an o ence not to report it. Make sure you carry an animal emergency hotlines card - giving you all the contacts you may need.
