The ponies were grazing or dozing in two groups of four on either side of the Gelvert, to the south of the track alongside the racecourse, (D/E6) at 1625 today. All were relaxed and appeared well despite having been approached by some teenaged girls whose screams could be heard as we arrived (I suspect because a pony got too close). The girls hurried off down the track but came back as I was inspecting the four to the east of the stream. I reminded them that the ponies shouldn't be approached, but I'm not sure they paid much attention.
Emergency Procedure
If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:
