Dear New Forest Pony enthusiasts, We have a small but busy riding school in Sussex and we have a fair few new forest ponies. Here they are working on a saturday morning givng the customers lots of fun and instruction.

They are from left to right; Bramble V11, Tara (bought from the sales as a foal by someone else and not registered). Warrenshill Butterscotch, Hyde Smokey Joe, Rushmoor Piccolo, Beacon Judith 11, Hazelhill Nutmeg and Tangerine, unregistered but branded. We also have Yew Tree Forest Fay (a clients pony who has now retired from the school) and Matley Sherbet who is just backed and will soon join us.

They are fantastic ponies, the kids love them and so do we.

The owners Nigel and Jennifer Patty at Orchid Riding School, Crowborough, Sussex.
