Welcome to the Long Valley Lookers' Blog: Saturday 25th May

Emergency Procedure

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

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

Saturday 25th May - All 4 seen

The ponies were all found in the pasture to the side of the Test Track gate at 14:50 this afternoon. The girls were all happily grazing in the warm sunshine. The foal came running over to say hello as soon as he saw me approaching. He was super friendly again today and wanted to be stroked all over. He has discovered that ear rubs are nice and relaxing. The little one wanted to be the centre of attention today, with him leaving me only for a short time to go and nurse from his mum. The ponies proceeded to graze westward towards the pond, while the little one continued to be made a fuss of. He occasionally nibbled at some grass while being stroked. The little one had been enjoying a long back rub, when he decided to lie down at my feet. He soon fell asleep as I stoked his side. I quietly got up and went and spent some time with the girls before saying goodbye to them just after 16:00.

The ponies were all good this afternoon.
