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 23rd November - All 6 seen

    At 13:40 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing along the eastern side of Brock’s Hill, enjoying the sunshine and plenty of grass and gorse. When they saw me approaching, they took turns coming over to say hello and enjoy some strokes and rubs. Most still had matted coats from yesterday’s rain, but a few gentle back rubs soon smoothed them out. The girls were all happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    After a while, they returned to grazing on the slope of the hill, though one always stayed with me to enjoy longer neck, shoulder, and back rubs. They were incredibly affectionate, offering the sweetest cuddles and gentle nuzzles in return. They looked stunning as the sun began to set.

    By 14:45, the ponies had moved into the pasture to the east to continue grazing, initially nibbling on the plentiful gorse before heading further east to browse the variety of plants growing in the swampy area. They continued taking turns to come over for more attention, especially loving scratches along the front and sides of their necks. They were an absolute joy to spend some quiet, peaceful time with this afternoon.

    I said my goodbyes at 16:00, leaving them grazing in the gorse bushes near the main path, around ///metals.pony.realm. As I walked toward the racecourse, I saw the first couple of ponies emerge and move into the pasture to the south to graze some more.

    The ponies were all good today.
