Interesting article and a great book. One day I will end up back on the forest, for me there's no better place.

Ditto four legs have priority at all times over four wheels.

I went up to the new forest with my sister in law to look at a NF foal, WOW what a stunning place. I would love to go up there for a holiday. We were near Brokenhurst?
The breeder had their stallion and mare run over in one bad accident, it sounded hoirrific. Apparently there was a massive court case over it. The man that killed them and dragged the mare

claimed to have not seen them?!
Bast**d

Horses were on this planet a long time before cars!

I keep my horse in the New Forest and yes, it is incredible. The sad thing is, this incident isn't a rarity

The locals seem to be worse actually than the tourists, although some tourists really need to import a brain cell when they visit!
