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!

    Tuesday 31st March - Both seen

    The ponies were contentedlygrazing just to the south of the track in B6 at 1430 this afternoon.  They both appeared well.  The collared one has a gorse twig entangled in her mane but would not let me remove it - if it's anything like dealing with a long haired dog it's going to need scissors.


    As I approached the site from the small car park to the west of Velmead two electric scramble bikes whizzed across in front of me coming from the direction of Bourley Road.  They were very quiet but very fast.  Fortunately they turned away from the cattle grid back towards the Aldershot Road.  Bikes like that would be real a danger in the enclosure as they would give the ponies little notice of their approach and would no doubt startle them if they were on or near the track.
