We live in The New Forest in England. We breed New Forest Ponies, which free-range in the forest. In the Autumn we have round ups and get them into pounds to give them welfare checks and brand the foals. I thought you might like to see some pictures of one of the round-ups--we call them `drifts`.

Beautiful just beautiful. Your part of the UK looks a lot like where we live here in the states around in the Pacific Northwest.

They have a round up like what you do in Nevada only it's wild burros and Mustangs.

Great pictures. It looks like you get a lot of help to round up the ponies. Thanks for sharing.
