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 3rd April - All 2 seen

    At 14:45 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing contentedly in the pasture west of the Gelvert Stream, near ///edits.unusable.flag. They were both very friendly, wandering over to greet me and enjoy plenty of strokes and rubs. After saying hello, they returned to grazing, gradually drifting west as they nibbled on the fresh grass.

    After a little while, the girls took turns coming over for long grooming sessions, clearly enjoying having their necks scratched and the loose hair brushed from their backs. The non-collared pony was especially affectionate, happily standing to be fussed over and often offering gentle nuzzles and head rubs in return. At one point, the sun even made a welcome appearance before disappearing again behind the clouds.

    I did notice that the collared pony’s rear left hoof appeared more chipped than before; however, she was walking normally, and it did not seem to be causing any issues.

    I said my goodbyes at 16:15, leaving the girls peacefully grazing in the pasture.

    The ponies were all good today.
