STALLION TURNOUT 2024 – ADVICE
As with all livestock our strong advice to Forest visitors is to keep a good distance away from the stallions as they go about their duties and gather a herd. In particular, we advise horse riders to avoid stallion areas. Any equine entering their area will inevitably result in the stallion approaching to check if the newcomer is a threat to his herd, or should be encouraged to join it. An entirely natural reaction, which can be intimidating to all but the most confident riders.
Additionally, with the pony herds inevitably running about more than usual, please ensure dogs are kept under close control and, unless they have 100% reliable recall, on a short lead.

Information about the climate and nature crises in the National Park reached an audience of one and a half million people thanks to the 2024 New Forest Awakening Festival.
Led by the New Forest National Park Authority with a range of partners, it was the fourth annual Festival around climate and nature running throughout the whole of March.
More than 3,000 people attended 90 events supported by 50 local organisations. The month-long timetable included walks, talks, theatre, arts and crafts, a local produce roadshow, growing advice, climate-themed events, litter picks, behind the scenes tours, and early green careers advice.
The Festival is about increasing people’s understanding of the special qualities of the New Forest, the issues it faces and how we can all help respond to the nature and climate crises.
Throughout the 2024 New Forest Awakening Festival, information reached more than 1.5 million people through social and traditional media channels.
David Bence, Chair of the New Forest National Park Authority, said: ‘It takes a Team New Forest to work together to help protect this vitally important area for wildlife. Organisations, volunteers, community groups and individuals are all taking action for nature, but there is more to be done.
‘The New Forest Awakening Festival has gone from strength to strength, showing people just how special this area is, and how taking a few small steps can all add up to make a positive impact on our fragile New Forest environment.’
We're highlighting ‘Operation Gallop’ to horse owners and those with an interest in all things equine.
Op Gallop defines the efforts of the National Equine Crime Priority Delivery Group – which is led by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary’s Chief Inspector Korine Bishop and sits under the National Rural Crime Team.
At its core, Op Gallop’s main objectives are to reduce horse, tack and trailer theft; improve responses to neglect and fly grazing; and increase education/awareness of equestrian road safety.
It brings together police forces, equestrian partners, subject matter experts and charities to tackle issues in partnership, bolstering the police’s ability to identify offenders – particularly those working cross-border - and return stolen property to rightful owners.
There will also be an emphasis on tackling animal welfare issues, and providing equine communities with robust Crime Prevention Advice to protect horses & property. The Op Gallop website has a wealth of information and advice for horse owners. Visit: https://www.operationgallop.org.uk/ You can also follow Op Gallop on Facebook and on Twitter
