Callout to a Dartmoor Hill Pony with a Suspected Abcess

20th July

One of our SWEP officers was able to take the above photo of a Dartmoor Hill Pony near Clearbrook.  At first we suspected that this lump might be an abcess, but when visiting the pony on the 21st July, our officers were able to see that the mare is pouching grass and this is not an abcess.  This mare probably has hooks on her teeth.  Monitoring her we found that the lump disappears at times and then re-emerges later in the day.  We will continue to monitor this mare and her condition.
