Beaulieu Road Pony Sales 2010

The Beaulieu Road Pony Sales are held several times a year. Held adjacent to Beaulieu Road Train Station on the B3056 approximately half way between Lyndhurst and Beaulieu in the heart of the New Forest National Park.

The auction takes place to enable Commoners of the New Forest to sell their ponies and donkeys. The sales have taken place at Beaulieu Road for over 60 years, before this time being held in Lyndhurst.

The event is run by The New Forest Livestock Society who were granted a 25 year lease to organise at least five sales per year on behalf of the Commoners. The New Forest Livestock Society was formed in 2001 when the New Forest Pony Breeding and Cattle Society joined forces with the Commoners Defence Association.
