Entries are officially open for the 2025 New Forest Pony & Cattle Breeding Society Annual Breed Show – and once again, the spotlight is on the cattle classes, an essential and long-standing part of the Show’s heritage.
While the main Breed Show continues to showcase New Forest ponies, the cattle classes have carved out their own legacy over the decades. Although no longer judged at the showground itself, cattle classes remain a central part of the event and are judged in advance either on competitors’ holdings or directly out on the open Forest.
This year’s schedule includes six main classes for:
The Society is especially proud to introduce a new class this year in memory of Matthew Gerrelli, a dedicated supporter of the Society, the cattle classes and former cattle champion. The ‘Commoners Beef Herd’ class (C7) honours his contribution and encourages participation from practising commoners.
Entries close on Monday, 18 August, with the provisional judging date being Thursday, 21 August.
The New Forest CDA is encouraging all practising Commoners to take part.
Whether you’re entering a single animal or a whole herd, these classes are your chance to showcase your breeding, care, and commitment to keeping New Forest heritage alive.
