New Forest Pony by andycoleborn

New Forest Pony

Took mum out for a drive in the New Forest today and a cream tea in a beautiful little place called Buckler's Hard, a former ship building hamlet on the Beaulieu River.

The New Forest, which was given it's Royal Charter by William the Conq in 1079, is the largest remaining piece of unenclosed heathland and forest in the south east of England meaning horses, ponies and cattle are free to wander where they want and more often than not, share the roads and high streets of the Forest with us humans.

This pic remnds me a little of the famous horse paintings by George Stubbs...

Beautiful horse and very nice composition in the shot. It does remind me of a painting.
