I make no apologies for these graphic pictures. At least one pony or cow has been killed or badly injured every fortnight along the B3078 from Cadnam to Fordingbridge. They are not killed by tourists but mainly by commuters whose only concern seems to be the speed with which they can get to work or to the station, or delivery vehicles trying to get round their rounds as fast as possible. If you can't slow down, go round.
In fact, this little girl was killed in the dark last night about 50 yards along from a sign that reads "Beware animals on the road day and night". The road is open and was clear of snow and no doubt this pony had been attracted to the edge of the road by the salt in the grit that the Highways Agency are spreading in order to save people's lives.
