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!

    Friday 10th April - All 2 seen

    At 15:35 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing in the pasture northeast of Brock's Hill, near ///reset.about.legroom. The ground in this area is quite swampy, and as I approached, they were feeding on plants growing in the pools of water and the surrounding soft mud. The girls were very friendly, taking turns to come over and greet me with soft nickers before settling in for plenty of strokes and rubs. Both were happy, relaxed, and looking in good condition.

    After our initial greetings, the ponies alternated between grazing and returning for more attention. They both thoroughly enjoyed long neck, shoulder, and back scratches, offering affectionate nuzzles in return.

    By 16:20, the ponies had drifted back to the area east of the hill, where they continued to graze, nibbling on fresh grass. They continued to wander over for more strokes, content to receive back rubs while grazing. After a final round of scratches, I said my goodbyes at 16:45, leaving them peacefully grazing.

    The ponies were all good today.
