0:01:13 > 0:01:16Today, I'm in the beautiful New Forest in Dorset
0:01:16 > 0:01:20to meet twins Ted and Millie, and I hear they have some ponies.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Come on. Let's go say hello.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Hello. BOTH:- Hello, Ferne.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Hi. You must be Ted and Millie.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Lovely to meet you. And you must be Mum. Hi.- Hi, Ferne.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- And who is this? BOTH:- Noble.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Noble is stunning. What type of pony is Noble?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- New Forest pony.- So, he comes from right here in the New Forest?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Yeah.- That is fantastic.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00New Forest ponies are a very popular breed
0:02:00 > 0:02:03for children to learn to ride on and keep as pets -
0:02:03 > 0:02:05they're known to be friendly.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Not all New Forest ponies are pets,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and some live out in the forest with other animals.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13These ponies in the field are fabulous.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Are they all of your pets?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18You are very lucky. They're gorgeous.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22They all look quite different, so are they different breeds?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Yes. - Who is this white one behind me?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Mouse.- Mouse? That's a funny name for a pony.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- What type of pony is Mouse? - A Welsh mountain.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35A Welsh mountain pony.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38What about that lovely little spotty one at the back?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- BOTH:- Dinky. - He is very, very cute.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43What type of pony's Dinky?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Shetland.- Shetland.- He's a bit of a Shetland pony, isn't he?- Yes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49He's got lovely short legs.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53How do you tell the difference between a pony and a horse?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Horses are bigger. Ponies are shorter.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- And so Noble's definitely a pony. BOTH:- Yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- How old is Noble?- Um...- Four.- Four.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Four? So are you older than him? BOTH:- Yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Are you his big brother and sister? - Yes!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11What is your favourite thing about having Noble as a pet?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Looking after him.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Well, I can tell that you take great care of Noble.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Rory, can you tell us some more fun facts about New Forest ponies?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Of course, Ferne.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Ponies have been living in the New Forest for hundreds of years,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32and there are around 3,000 roaming freely today.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38A New Forest pony is known to be fast, strong,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40friendly and intelligent.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49They also come in lots of different colours, like bay...
0:03:49 > 0:03:52chestnut and grey.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Having any pet, no matter what it is,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06means you have to give it a lot of love, care and attention.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Ponies can be pretty hard work, can't they?- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- What is really important when you have a pony?- A field.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's right, a field is really important
0:04:15 > 0:04:18so there's room for them to run around.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19This field is perfect.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21What else do we need to do?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25What do you need to make sure they have in their tummies?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Food and water.- That's right. And what about where they live?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30A clean stable.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- And I bet they love having a clean stable.- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Since I'm visiting, can I help with any of these jobs?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Yes, please. - OK, come on. Come on, Noble.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Wow! So, this is Noble's stable. BOTH:- Yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- It is very nice. How often do you clean it?- Every day.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Every day, and pick up the wet shaving, and poo pick.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Whoa! Every single day, Ted?- Yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- That is a lot of work, isn't it? - We're almost finished.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Do you want to help us do the last bit?- I'd love to help. Come on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Is this is where he sleeps? BOTH:- Yes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's pretty clean already. What do we need to do, then?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Just sprinkle the shavings down.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Put the clean shavings down to make a lovely bed for Noble.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Would you sleep on this bed, Ted? - Yes.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- You would, too, Millie?- Yep.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- You'd have a wood shavings pillow? - Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And a wood shavings blanket?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39THEY LAUGH
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Well, this looks great.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42What a comfy bed.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Such a lucky pony.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47So, what do we need to do next?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- His food is already here, isn't it?- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Noble eats hay and pony nuts.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55What else do we need to do for him? What does he drink?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- BOTH:- Water.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Shall we go get some?- Yes.- OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Lots of water for Noble.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17You do so much for Noble, but is there anything that we've forgotten?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Grooming him.- OK, well, how about you go get Noble
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and I will bring his water to the stable?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Oh, he loves this, doesn't he?- Yeah!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Wow, and look how shiny his coat is.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Brushing is really good
0:06:51 > 0:06:54to remove the dust and dirt from the pony's coat.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58It's also a really nice way of making friends with your pony,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01because they just love it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Look. Look, he's turning his head. Does that mean he's happy?- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I love him.- I love him, too.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- The ponies out in the New Forest don't have stables like this.- No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And they don't have people to bring them food or water.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- They don't even have people to brush them either.- No.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30If they're sick or hurt, someone will come and look after them.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31That is really good.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34The ponies in the New Forest look after themselves.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37They are very different from pet ponies.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38If you visit the New Forest,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41it's important not to touch them or feed them.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Isn't that right? BOTH:- Yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I've never actually seen New Forest ponies out in the forest.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Can we go on a New Forest pony-spotting adventure?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- BOTH:- Yes! - I would love to!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- We can go on our ponies. - You can come, too.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- That sounds like so much fun! Shall we go?- Yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- CHILDREN:- My Pet And Me!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You guys and Dinky and Mouse
0:08:10 > 0:08:14look like you're ready for a pony-spotting adventure.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- BOTH:- Yes. - And Noble, you look great as well.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21If your pet pony Noble could do absolutely anything,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23what would he do?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24DRUMROLL
0:08:24 > 0:08:26CYMBAL CRASHES
0:08:26 > 0:08:28If my pet could do anything,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32he would trot along the lanes to the beach
0:08:32 > 0:08:37and sit on a towel and watch the seahorses in the sea.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41When he gets too hot,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44he will jump into the sea
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and swim along beside them, neighing,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50because he is so happy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05The New Forest is a very large place.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Even though there are thousands of wild ponies living out here,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11we'll need to look closely to spot some.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16So, where are the ponies? I can't see any.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Out in the forest, in a shady spot.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I think it might be time to stop
0:09:25 > 0:09:28and let our ponies have something to eat.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We are surrounded by all these beautiful flowers.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Ted, what are they? - Bell heather and ling.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Do the ponies eat them?- Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42What else do the ponies eat around here?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Bracken, gorse.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Do they eat grass, Millie?- Yes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- And they nibble trees. - Nibble trees, too?!- Yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, do you know what I still haven't seen?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I have not seen New Forest ponies in the forest.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Shall we try and find some?- Yeah! - OK, come on, ponies, walk on.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09There aren't any ponies at the pond.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I can't see any under the trees.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15We can't find them anywhere.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Where are they?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22FERNE GASPS There they are!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27They've been enjoying a quiet, shady spot,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29just like Millie said they would be.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Oh, they look like a little family.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39And they're enjoying eating the flowers and grass, too.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Here they come galloping.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Look at them go. They're very quick at running. Look at that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52GIGGLING They're beautiful, aren't they?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57We're keeping a safe distance from the New Forest ponies
0:10:57 > 0:10:59because they're wild animals.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Ted, what is a baby pony called?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- A foal.- A foal. The foals are very quick, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09And they've got such long legs.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11What do foals' tails look like?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Small.- They are. They're very small.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17And they're very fluffy. They look like little brushes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23What pony is that one called?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25The brown ones are called bays.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28The pale brown ones are called bay roans.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Off they go.- Off they go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- So, is this one of the ponies' favourite places, Millie?- Yes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- And where is your favourite place? - An ice-cream shop.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Sounds great. Shall we get an ice cream?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- BOTH:- Yes. - OK.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- This ice cream is delicious, isn't it?- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Good job today.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I've had the best day learning all about New Forest ponies.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We can't forget your pet ponies either, can we?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- BOTH:- No. - They were great.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Thank you so much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Mm!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- CHILDREN:- My Pet And Me!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Hi, Rory.- Hi, Ferne.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Hiya, Hector.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- How was your day?- Fantastic.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- I had such a great time with my friends. It was fun.- Oh, great.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I've been catching up on some serious cuddle time with Hector.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I can see that. He's loving it.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Remember, you shouldn't touch an animal
0:13:00 > 0:13:02unless the owner says it's OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Two pets you CAN play with are ours.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Go to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12What a fantastic time we've had. We loved meeting you and your pets.
