[edit] Pictures of New Forest ponies
Hi!
I am proposing to remove the top picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/050103_2283_hants_pony.jpg) and moving the bottom picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Nfpony.jpg) to the top. This is because the bottom picture is a much better picture of a New Forest in that it corresponds more to the normal look and size of the breed. The picture to be removed looks in fact more like a Shetland pony!
If nobody objects, I'll make the alterations in the next few weeks.

Go ahead and do it. The top picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/050103_2283_hants_pony.jpg) is a pony, but not a "New Forest Pony". The picture is from the lawn and car park next to the Lymington River to the north of Brockenhurst. People often stop there to look at the miniature ponies. The bottom picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Nfpony.jpg) is a better representation of the breed. While you're sorting this out, consider removing the middle image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:New_Forest_pony.JPG) as its wonky and poorly exposed. I have hundreds of clearer photos of NF ponies in their habitat - see for example [1] and [2].

Hello Jim! Thanks for swift reply! What I want to do is to upload 1 or 2 good photos to Wikimedia Commons, thereby making them available also to the other language Wikis, in particular the Swedish one which also contains the non-NF mini pony! As I understand it, that would save us having to upload new pictures to every language version of Wiki, as long as they conform to the copyright policies of Wikimedia Commons.

First stage completed, moved good picture to top, removed mini pony. Will find replacement for wonky middle image later, after browsing your content. Yours? GFDL tag? Might add one of my own, showing competition use rather than natural habitat... Wilma Sweden 00:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I've added a gallery of my NF pony pictures (all from the New Forest), all of which are on Wikimedia Commons with the appropriate copyright. JimChampion 21:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
