Pretty ponies

As part of this season’s ‘Wondrous World’ theme we've designed a gorgeous print inspired by the unique flora and fauna that make up the fabulous New Forest. We’re so lucky to be inspired by our very own beautiful, local area which we love to visit and explore. Our pretty pony print features New forest ponies (the most famous animal in the New Forest) and lots of the beautiful and colourful plant life that grows there.

In our blog you'll find fun facts about New Forest ponies, some fab places to visit as well all of the clothes that feature this pretty print.

Did you know? Here are some fun facts about New Forest ponies:

 

  • It is thought that there have been ponies in the New Forest since the last ice age, wow!
  • They play an important role in maintaining the unique New Forest landscape. Without their constant grazing, the open forest would soon turn to scrubland.
  • They’re noted for friendliness - ponies in the New Forest are considered to be the most approachable of all the British pony breeds due to their history of frequent contact with people.

  • Fancy a visit? Here are some great places to visit with children in the New Forest:

     

    The Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park

    If you love horses and ponies as much as we do, the Heavy Horse Farm Park is perfect for you. Recognised as both a family attraction and a conservation centre for rare breed heavy horses, here you can ride ponies, feed farm animals and even ride a tractor and trailer down the valley!

    Longdown Activity Farm

    Here at Longdown Activity Farm there is a daily schedule of hands-on activities, including calf bottle feeding, duck feeding and small animal handling. There are also plenty of activities for children, including tractor and trailer rides, a crazy golf course and both indoor and outdoor play areas. Whatever the weather, there is always something fun to do!

    Furzey Gardens

    Furzey Gardens is a woodland garden nestled in a peaceful New Forest setting. Here you’ll find dozens of fairy doors to enchant visitors of all ages, an outdoor play area and tea rooms. The garden is well known for its stunning autumn leaves, making it the perfect family day out this autumn.

    The New Forest Wildlife Park

    Here you can follow the woodland trail to see a range of amazing animals, including wallabies, wolves, lynx, deer and ferrets. There are also feeding sessions, keeper talks and all kinds of fun-filled events all year round. Plus, with two action-packed adventure playgrounds and a café, the New Forest Wildlife Park is a fabulous day out for the entire family!

    The New Forest Aqua Park

    If you’re after fun and adventure, then the New Forest Aqua Park is the UK’s first outdoor floating inflatable water park. Measuring an impressive 4,000 square metres, the aqua park includes trampolines, monkey bars, slides, springboards, a climbing wall, and much more! Just the thing for a fun day out.
