🌳🐴🍂The New Forest Young Commomers Committee are asking for your help in protecting the New Forest National Park 🙏🏼 🎥 Please watch and share our message. Thank you 😊 @RealNewForest @NewForestNPA @EngNewForest

the Stride family would like to share with you the life story of Albert Stride 1926-2021

If you choose to exercise your dogs within the New Forest we are asking that you please keep them under control. Aggravation like this is just not acceptable. PLEASE abide by the #newforestcode at all times, so that it is a safe place for us to work our stock and you to enjoy.

Today, whilst out stock checking, a YC was antagonised and chased by an out of control dog. Sadly the owner made no attempt to keep their dog under control or put on a lead.Fortunately for this Commoner (and the dog!) their pony tolerated this ordeal....

So much of what we know about the #NewForest and #commoning has been passed down through the generations. #homeschooling2021 #RealNewForest #FatherAndSon

❄️ With the weather staying cold for the next couple of days, we hope people can help keep our livestock safe, by driving carefully ❄️ ⏰ Take a little extra time ❄️ Drive to the conditions 👀 Watch out for stock #add3minutes #realnewforest #newforest @Newforestroads

Time for change? Despite the best efforts of @NFVerderers @NFroadscampaign @RealNewForest @NewForestNPA @HantsPolRural this happens too often. What would you suggest? 30mph speed limit Roads fenced or removed Roads closed rather than gritted #NewForest

Training ponies and children to catch ponies takes time and patience... Big smiles all round. The future of commoning is in the hands of our @YoungCommoners it is so important that we invest in them, sharing our love for the Forest and our knowledge. #RealNewForest #NewForest

The @YoungCommoners group is a vital part of the #NewForest #commoning decision making process. Established in 2007 to ensure the voice of Young Commoners is heard. Too often young people are spoken about rather than listened to.

Went for a walk to find our old mare and yearling. We fed her a little hay, not because she is hungry but to tempt her so that she is easier to catch in the next few weeks. When she comes closer to home she will hopefully follow us for some hay.

Committee update! #realnewforest

A pictorial tribute to Bill. 🐶 2005 - 2020 ‘A shepherd is nothing without a dog’ #dog #sheepdog #colleague #memorial

Tomorrow's drift at Pondhead has been cancelled.

Some good pictures from today’s successful drift. A total of 88 ponies were rounded up. It’s nearly the end of drifting season. It’s been a challenging season especially during these uncertain times, but as Commoners we have worked together. #realnewforest

#NewForest commoners are teaching local school children all about commoning via zoom! We’d love to hear from local schools interested meeting us virtually. 👋

A great opportunity to grab!!

We are very proud of Peter Fogarty for winning the Young Farmer/Commoner of the Year 2020. Pete is a very hard working and committed YC, what a great recognition. @NewForestNPA https://t.co/4x71faJYNc 🎉 🏆 🐴 🌳 💪🏼 🚜

The perfect place to isolate from the madness of the world at the moment!! 😍👌

Drift paperwork. A job which can be tedious but essential, this is to ensure that every pony which is rounded up on the #newforest #ponyroundup is accounted for. The paper work shows which ponies have been wormed, collared, branded or removed from the forest. #realnewforest

We're asking visitors to help us protect #RedDeer 🦌👇 🚶 Stay on the main tracks at all times 🐕 Keep dogs under close control when near #deer 👀 Always keep your distance - binoculars are essential! 🦌 Do not approach the deer - they're wild animals 📷 Lee Knight #NewForest

We’re looking for locations to visit with our new exhibition panels - we’d love to hear from campsites, community centres, pubs, parish councils, schools, libraries etc. 💁This is a great opportunity for residents and visitors to meet the commoners and find out about commoning.
