🍂✨ What a lovely afternoon yesterday, celebrating the Autumn Equinox with yoga and a soothing sound bath. We stretched, we breathed, we found balance, and then fully relaxed into the beautiful sounds.

It felt so special to pause together as the seasons shift and to share that sense of calm and connection. We were even lucky enough to see the pigs roaming free 🐷
Thank you to everyone who joined — you made it such a warm and uplifting experience. 🙏

Love seeing the pigs out for pannage. Makes the drive to my yoga classes so much fun 🐷🐖x

Monday is the start of pannage season, also known as 'common of the mast.' This is when the pigs are turned out to eat the autumn bounty of chestnuts, beech masts and acorns which are particularly toxic to ponies, donkeys and cattle due to their high tannin content, but pigs have a tannin-binding protein in their saliva that allows them to eat the mast with no harm. These pigs are providing a service to the stock that live out on the forest all year round as well as getting to gorge on the forests free autumn bounty.

Despite the abundance of nuts to gorge on, commoners often still feed their freely roaming pigs daily just to encourage them home. Pigs can roam a fair distance and not always that keen to be caught at the end of the 60 day pannage season, or even longer, if the pannage season is extended on a mast year just like this one. so, it's good to keep them close to their farmstead and know they can get an easy feed once a day from their owners by going home. The pigs are given ear tags for identification and nose rings to prevent rooting up the forest floor before being turned out.

Some rights to mast on New Forest commons allow the commoners to leave their sows out for an extended period beyond pannage season these are known as privilege pigs.

They are wonderful and a lot of the time entertaining to see on autumn walks but please keep your distance, particularly if a sow has piglets with her. The little ones can be very inquisitive but Mum can be very protective and trust me, you don't want to get on the wrong side of her! So, for your own safety please keep your distance and dogs under control but enjoy and admire from a safe distance their grunts, squeals and snufflings if you come across these beauties over the coming weeks 🐷

Subscribers to the Nature and Nurture membership can read a more indepth article about pannage. You can find a link to the membership in the comments and you can cancel anytime 😄
