The New Forest Pony
Rules for Showing
1: Ponies are shown uplaited, but may have lightly pulled manes and tails. The jawline and heels may be trimmed, Forest run classes excepted (see rule 4).
2:  Clipping, except for the legs, is allowed for working ponies in their winter coats.
3:  No make up is allowed or any other falsification of markings.
4:  In classes for ponies off the Forest, they must be shown in a completely natural state i.e. with unpulled manes and tails and no trimming of heels or jawline.
5: Yearlings are not allowed to be shown in bits. Stud Stallions 2 years and over may be shown in bridles with bits. Chifney bits are not allowed in any circumstances.
6:  At the Breed Show all in hand ponies must be shown in white halters, including stallions off the Forest. Stud Stallions excepted (see Rule 5). 
   

The Council of the New Forest Pony and Cattle Breeding Society is very concerned at the loss of native pony type in the Breed, due to breeding away from the native habitat. Judges are, therefore, requested to give preference to ponies with depth and bone, even at the expense of quality. Action should be straight, with free movement, but not exaggerated pointed toes. Over refined heads and light bone are neither typical nor desirable.

When judging brood mares, the condition of the foal should be taken into account.
