ANOTHER New Forest pony has been killed on the roads.
The bay filly was badly injured in a collision at Robins Bush, Stoney Cross South, and had to be humanely destroyed by one of the agisters.
It was the only animal accident reported to the New Forest Verderers in the week starting October 22 but collisions involving free-roaming ponies, cows and donkeys often rise once the clocks go back.
Animal owners recently launched a new campaign to persuade drivers to take extra care in the dark.
