The New Forest breed of horses comes from Southern England.
They are considered elegant and wise, as well as being very pleasing
animals. A style of pony that has been around for a very long time,
they were originally bred in the New Forest area where they enjoy
grazing for long periods of time. Not described as a Feral breed of horses,
they required their owners to afford their bill for them to be allowed to
graze. They were quickly cross bred with several other styles of horses such as
Arab, Welsh, Hackney, and Thoroughbred types. One day, a small pony horse by
the name of Field Marshall had a significance to the changing of this breed and
their qualities. They opened their own studbook in the early nineteen hundreds
and have been a popular breed in the United Kingdom ever since.
