Historyedit
The New Forest Pony inhabits the forests of Hampshire. Ponies were first recorded as roaming the New Forest in 1016 and have occupied the forest ever since. A number of other breeds have been introduced to the New Forest pony in order to improve the breed. These include an Arab horse owned by Queen Victoria, and later Highland, Fell, Dartmoor, Exmoor stallions were brought in to the bloodline; however since 1930 no outside blood has been permitted. The New Forest Pony Breeding and Cattle Breeding Society were formed in 1960 and published its own Stud Book.
