Four ponies have been killed in a collision with a vehicle in the New Forest National Park.
The animals were hit on Thursday night while licking freshly laid salt on Roger Penny Way, Hampshire Constabulary said.
Three ponies died at the scene while a fourth was found dead later a short distance away.
In December, three donkeys were killed on the road, which is a black spot for animal accidents.
