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 29th September - All 8 seen

    At 15:20 this afternoon, I found two ponies grazing near ///hands.pretty.outbound. They immediately came over to say hello and happily enjoyed some neck rubs. Soon after, another four ponies joined us, all just as friendly. They took turns coming over for strokes, giving me head rubs, nuzzles and the occasional lick. Like yesterday, several had gorse tangled in their manes or on their backs, but they didn’t mind when I removed it.

    After a while, the ponies returned to grazing, moving east along the path near the trees by the road. They continued to take turns at coming over to see me, all relaxing while being stroked. Just as I wondered where the other two ponies were, I heard loud neighing coming from where we had started. A couple of the ponies responded, with further neighing heard in the distance. Soon, all six set off at pace to reunite with the other two, who were grazing near ///cuddling.pints.warm at 15:45. The two ponies were fine and had likely just become separated from the group. All eight ponies then began grazing together, enjoying the long grass and heather.
     
    By 16:20, the ponies had moved to the thicket near ///occur.posts.judges, where they continued to graze. A couple ventured out into the open, with one coming over for a long, relaxing neck rub. She loved it, giving me head rubs and gentle nuzzles in return. After about fifteen minutes, she went back to grazing, and the second pony came over for her turn. She, too, enjoyed a long neck rub, resting her head on my shoulder as I stroked her. She was completely relaxed. I said my goodbyes at 17:00, having thoroughly enjoyed my time with time.

    The ponies were all good today.

    Saturday 28th September - All 8 seen

    Five ponies were grazing in the pasture near ///envoy.lake.ratty at 14:25 this afternoon. They were all very friendly, taking turns to come over and say hello. Several made soft nickering sounds as they approached, giving me head rubs and nuzzles. They enjoyed plenty of neck and back strokes. When the sun came out from behind the clouds, they paused to bask in its warmth. Most of the ponies had gorse tangled in their manes, but they were happy for me to remove it.

    The other three ponies appeared near the main path to the northeast at around 14:45. One came all the way over to greet me, enjoying a long neck rub. Fifteen minutes later, I walked over to meet the two ponies by the path. They were happily grazing but stopped to say hello. Two of the ponies from the first group had followed me over, and soon, all four resumed grazing, slowly moving south towards the entrance gate by the car park. They would regularly come over to see me and enjoy more strokes.

    At 15:30, I returned to the first group of ponies who were grazing near ///going.this.lilac. They greeted me again, enjoying more strokes. They were all happy, relaxed and looking really well in the sunshine. 

    By 16:05, the other four ponies were resting in the sunshine by the path. I spent some time with each of them. One pony, after a long back rub, lay down right in front of me and encouraged me to keep stroking her. This group were also happy and healthy. I said my goodbyes just after 16:30, having thoroughly enjoyed the quiet time with them.

    The ponies were all good today.
