These ponies are awesome. Why? They gallop across the commons with a rider tackling a wide variety of terrain helping to herd the feral ponies and then the next day they are quiet enough to look after a beginner.

Have you heard of the New Forest point-to-point? It is THE only authentic one left in the country.  Riders are told where the finish is in advance but only know of the start the day before so that they cannot practice their route.  There is no set route so it is all about knowing the forest and where you are going so you can take the quickest route. Race distances are 3 or 1.5 miles.

Here's a hat cam of someone doing the Novice race. At 3.25 - you hope the horse in front does not stop.

One locally took her adult rider wasnt sure what to do with her New Forest pony so took her eventing and they ended up doing several up to BE100 giving her the bug to event and she completed a CIC* in 2016 (with a different horse).
