Here's me, living near The New Forest and I hardly never show you any of the country side. Went out for a picnic and saw this lovely little mare and her foal. I'm not normally one for taking pictures of them, we leave that to the Grockles, who stop their cars without warning, fling open their doors and invade the pony's space with tip bits (not allowed)
and the offering of their children... I just can't believe that anyone in their right mind would put a child on a wild pony just to take a picture! But they do! These two weren't on the road but out of sight of the holiday makers, who very rarely venture very far from their cars. Can you see why I took this picture?? There's about 3,000 ponies roaming the Forest, and I just happen to find this little mare and her foal.Double click the picture of the mare
and then you'll see what I mean!
and then you'll see what I mean!
Awwww they are both gorgeous :0) I hate people like that it annoys the heck out of me as a horse rider. I wonder what goes through the parents heads as they try and get child onto a wild unbroken horse? Id love to see them roaming around one day.
