Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    Sunday 19th November - All 9 seen - one pony walking very gingerly on her rear legs

    All nine ponies were busy grazing in the gorse bushes at the south-west corner of the site at 10.45 this morning.  Eight ponies were deep among the bushes together, with the chestnut pony preferring to eat from the gorse bushes nearest the main path.  They were all happily munching away.

    The ponies slowly made their way down to the area around ///grudge.series.tinny at 12:10 where they started to relax.  One pony lay down in some leaves by the side of the path and rested her eyes.  The two collared ponies continued to graze in the gorse bushes behind where the other ponies were standing.  While relaxing, several ponies came over and said hello.

    After a while, the chestnut pony very gingerly made her way down to the others.  She was preferring to walk on the grass at the edge of the path rather than on the path itself.  She appeared to have an issue with her rear legs, but there were no visual signs of an injury.  It looked like she was walking more cautiously on her rear left leg, but when she came to rest with the other ponies, she took the weight off her rear right leg.  She didn't appear to be in any distress, had been eating without any issues, and was keeping up with the other ponies.  Suggest someone from the Grazing Team needs to visit her tomorrow to check she is okay.

    The other eight ponies were all good today.
