Talk by Dr Gale Pettifer
The New Forest pony is often described as the ‘architect of the Forest’ and this illustrated talk aims to explain how the ponies shaped the land and also how the land has shaped them. It covers their herd-structure, grazing habits, breeding cycle and pony round-ups or ‘drifts’.
