New Forest Mare & Foal

Foals & Stallions on show

The first of the foals sired by the previous year’s selected stallions start to arrive – always a particularly exciting time for their owners and loved by local people. Meanwhile work begins to “pass” new stallions at the Beaulieu Road Saleyard, and make the selection of stallions that will be turned out on the Forest in summer.

It is World Wetlands Day today, a great chance to celebrate the New Forest’s amazing wetlands habitat.

Did you know that…

🌍The New Forest is one of the best examples of wetland habitat in Western Europe!

🤯There are over 1000 ponds found in the Forest!

🐌 It is home to over 30% of the UK's freshwater invertebrate species!

Good News 🎉

💁 At the start of the year we placed our salt licks along Roger Penny Way (A road infamous for animal accidents).

🤔 Ponies love to lick the salt off the road spread by gritting lorries, meaning that in winter they can be attracted to the roads.

📆 Last year was the first year of trialing the licks and it was deemed a success, with fewer animals involved in road accidents in the time they were out!!

↔️ The salt licks are placed well back from the road (130 meters aprox) and will stay there through the winter months.

🐴 Ponies are creatures of habit, the salt licks will draw some animals away from the road, but many will continue with their old ways.

⚠️ It is always important to remember to #expecttheunexpected and please #drivetotheconditions.
