Pony Breeding

Breeding and raising pedigree New Forest ponies on the edge of the National Park.

Muddycreek New Forest Pony

Muddycreek New Forest Pony is a family-run New Forest Commoning Unit, on the edge of the coastal village of Milford-on-Sea, around three miles south of the National Park’s open heathland. We manage a small herd of New Forest ponies and cattle, including our stallion, Sway Scrumpy Jack.

Sway Scrumpy Jack

Jack has retired from the Verderers of the New Forest Stallion Scheme. He’s available for private use, and is living at home and looking great still. You’ll find him pictured at Setley, and out on the Latchmoor Drift — the annual round-up where over 120 mares and foals are managed.
