A member of the public reported this injured pony alongside the Liskeard to Pensilva road. They had found the mare the previous evening - it was standing but very reluctant to move. Checking on the pony the next morning, the informant rang SWEP because the pony was in the same place and now had cuts and blood on its hind legs where it had tried to get up and down during the night.
SWEP contacted the Cornwall Defra office, and a vet was on scene within 20 minutes. The pony had suffered nerve damage to one of its front legs, most likely trauma from being hit by a vehicle. The owner was contacted, and the pony removed from the moor to be seen/treated by the owner's own vet.
