Episode 14: New Forest Ponies

Duration: 9 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Four HD

The New Forest in Hampshire is home to some very special horses. They live an almost wild existence, roaming these ancient forests freely through most of the year. Winters here can be harsh, but the ponies are true survivors, scraping a living by feeding off gorse and holly. Spring sees the arrival of the foals. But each autumn, the ponies are rounded up by their owners, bringing to these British forests a touch of the American West. Show less
