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!

    Monday 29th April - All 3 seen

    The ponies were all grazing in the sunshine in the area around ///wand.lifts.topical at 18:10 this evening.  They were all happy, relaxed and looking really well.  There were a fair few flies around, but they weren't bothering the ponies too much.  The ponies were all very friendly and came over one by one to say hello.  They were all happy to receive long head and neck rubs.

    Polly's leg continues to heal nicely.  She has had more antiseptic spray and some ointment applied this evening, now that the weather is a bit drier.  She was wandering around fine and got back to grazing soon afterwards.  I said my goodbyes to the ponies just after 19:00.

    The ponies were all good this evening.






    Monday 29th 11.30am D9 all three seen. Pollys foot looks good

    Tuesday 23rd April - pony update - still three ponies on site

    Nicky visited the site earlier this afternoon and brought back Polly.  The cut to her leg is continuing to heal nicely.  Polly had her feet trimmed during her time at home.

    Nicky also removed Beechleaf Baby, the pony who was worse affected by the earlier fungal infection, from the site.  She is going to be spending a while at home.

    The ponies were all good today.

    Saturday 20th April - metal object site check

    It appears the metal corrugated sheets belong to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Amphibian and Reptile Group (HIWARG).  I didn't touch any of them, but there was a laminated piece of paper beside one of the sheets.  They are part of an Ecological Survey - HLW 020.

    There were metal sheets at the following locations:-
    ///finer.projects.lows x 3
    ///entrust.measure.narrowest
    ///fools.headers.legwork
    ///flap.carpeted.compliant
    ///fuss.annual.toxic
    ///ships.currently.firm
    ///rejoins.rubble.reform
    ///trickster.bachelor.verve

    I found a chunk of sharp rusty metal around ///nanny.websites.typified that I've removed from the site.  I also found another metal object around ///loose.voting.chum.  This one I was a bit cautious with, as I've no idea what it was, but it didn't have any sharp edges on it. This one I left where it was.

    Other than some sharp tree and gorse bush stumps, which are all over the site, I didn't find any other objects that could have cut Polly's leg.  I'll try to do the next section to the east the next time I visit.





    Saturday 20th April - All 3 seen

    The ponies were all happily grazing in the area around ///gasp.pounce.asterisk at 14:25 this afternoon. They were all happy and relaxed. There were a fair few flies around today, but they weren't causing the ponies too many issues. The ponies were all very friendly, with each stopping to come over and say hello. They all received long head and neck rubs. I started looking for any metal objects that might have been responsible for Polly's cut, while doing a bit of litter picking, and the ponies all followed me. They were willing helpers for about twenty minutes, when they decided it would be more fun to eat. They stayed close though and followed me all the way down to the area around ///brilliant.hill.goes before following me all the way back. I said goodbye to them at 16:00. The ponies were all good today.

    Tuesday 16th corrugated sheet in F7

     Lovely to meet Nicky with Gordon and learn more about the ponies.

    After you left the 3 ran around for a bit neighing and then settled down

    We kept an eye out for sharp objects and will continue to. Found one of the sheets I mentioned in F7 ( what 3 words not working) The edge is a little sharp but is lower down than the cut  There are a few of these around. Couldn’t find anything else today..i would have reported anything dangerous..but there are areas we cannot get into.

    There is also a broken bit of gate in E4 edges a bit sharp but low .





    I hope Polly heals quickly 

    Saturday 5th October - All 8 seen
