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!

    Saturday 5th April - All 12 seen

    The ponies were happily grazing near ///briefing.blog.wove at 14:05 this afternoon. Most were nestled among the gorse bushes, but soon came out to greet me, eager for strokes and rubs. They were all very friendly, offering gentle head rubs and nuzzles. A pleasant breeze helped keep most of the flies at bay.

    Davinia was especially affectionate, enjoying a long, relaxing neck rub in the sunshine. I noticed she now has a crack in her front left hoof, though it wasn't affecting her movement. The chestnut mare also had a graze on her right rear hip—no sign of discomfort, but worth keeping an eye on.

    The ponies gradually moved to the western set of tank pits, stopping for a refreshing drink, then continued grazing northeast. By 15:10, seven had settled in the shade near ///face.snowy.annoys, happily accepting more strokes and rubs. Polly especially enjoyed having the sides of her neck stroked, relaxing fully and nearly dozing off.

    Curious about the dark pony with the white rear sock, I found her grazing among the gorse bushes near ///ranches.envoy.duke at 15:45. She soon came over for strokes before returning to her grazing, in no rush to rejoin the others. I said goodbye around twenty minutes later.

    At 16:20, the cattle were resting in the bushes near ///pint.airbase.shock. Yearling 276 got up straight away to to greet me, soaking up endless strokes and rubs. The others said hello when they got up to stretch, enjoying strokes before settling back in the shade to chew their cud. Yearling 276 came over again and thoroughly enjoyed a long back and shoulder rub. When I paused, he gently nudged me to continue 😊. I was pleased to see the dried blood on his front left hoof was gone. I said my goodbyes at 17:15, and he lay down as I walked away. The boys were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    I did a final check on the ponies at 17:30, and all eight were happily grazing in the sunshine near ///polka.boss.tenders.

    The cows and the ponies were all good today.

    Friday 4th April - Staff Check - all 12 seen

    Found the yearlings resting in the woodland edge by the sailing club. Number 276 was his usual affectionate self. I noticed he has a spot of dried blood on his front left hoof. No obvious signs of cause or further bleeding, and he seemed in usual good spirits. 

    Warty yearling appears to have a small growth above his right eye. Nothing to worry about but will be keeping an eye on size. 

    Ponies were all dozing in woodland by the ammo compound. I spent a tranquil 15 minutes with them looking them all over with a few coming over for strokes. Davinia was especially friendly and rested her head on me for a snooze 😅
    Nearby there was a helium balloon which caused much excitement when I picked it up to take it away, they obviously thought I might have something tasty for them. 
    Great to see them in such good condition coming out of winter! 

    Have a great weekend everyone and thanks once again for your efforts this week.
