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 16th March - All 7 seen

    The ponies were grazing near ///flaunting.luck.curl, just north of the main path by the Gelvert Stream, at 13:15 this afternoon.  They looked beautiful in the warm sunshine. One by one, the girls came over to say hello, enjoying plenty of strokes and rewarding me with gentle nuzzles. They were all happy, relaxed, and in good health.

    After our initial greetings, the ponies returned to grazing, gradually moving into the more open areas to the north. By 14:00, they had reached ///slurs.spellings.users, where they paused to rest and enjoy more strokes and rubs. Pandora was especially affectionate, loving her neck scratches and responding with the sweetest nuzzles. Even when the others resumed grazing, she stayed with me for over twenty minutes, happily enjoying all her itches being scratched. I noticed that many of the ponies have started shedding their winter coats and seemed to appreciate being brushed even more than usual.

    By 15:00, the ponies had moved west to graze among the gorse bushes near ///score.shaves.node. They gathered near a deep pool of water, where many paused for a refreshing drink before coming over for another round of strokes and rubs. They then slowly made their way north, favouring the straw-like long grass. I said my goodbyes just after 15:40, as they started venturing into the swampier areas.

    The bay pony’s legs appeared the same as they did on Friday, with bald patches on the inside and outside of all four legs. However, the good news was that there were no raw spots today, and I didn’t see her gnawing at them at any point. The newer bay pony continues to develop bald patches along her sides, and her neck is looking particularly thin in some areas. I also briefly noticed some thinning above her left eye when she turned her head.

    The ponies were all good today.
