The New Forest Agisters

Presently five in number, the agisters are a skilled group of men with a good working knowledge of the Forest and its depastured animals. They each have an allocated area and are responsible for over-seeing all aspects of the ponies & commoners animals on the Forest. This includes dealing with sick or injured animals & road traffic accidents involving animals - the animals have right of way at all times. The agisters are employed by the Verderers.
