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!

    Fri 21 Feb 25. (11.15 - 11.50) Observed all 8 ponies and all 4 cattle in G6. Possible issue with on ponies front LHS hoof ?

     I found the first two ponies on the main track running NW-SE thru G6.  There were another four just round the corner on the small track in F6 that heads SW in or on the edge of a thick patch of gorse. They were all grazing and generally heading SE.









     

    I noticed that one pony, (white rear RHS hoof & short sock) has a large crack in her front LHS hoof.  .I took a photo of the hoof and pony to ID. - 




    The yearlings were nearby, but were heading into deep gorse.  Which only allowed a couple of photos of head & body before all that could be viewed was a rear view, which at least I now know, (thanks to Jacky) allows conditioning to be assessed.

      Hi Tony, thanks for flagging the ponies hoof. I'm over at Hawley shortly as I need to take a look at something there anyway. It doesn't look too alarming but I'll let the grazier know.

        Thanks Tony. Nicky the grazier will come out on the weekend and assess. She may need to visit the farrier.
