SWEP had received a callout to a pony in poor condition with a foal on another area of Bodmin Moor. Our Welfare Officer attended the common and found that there are many ponies (possibly as many as 25) in poor condition ranging from between body scores 1 and 2. Most have foals, whilst others are heavily pregnant. All have an identification mark linking them to a particular owner.
It is very concerning to see ponies in such poor condition in mid-summer. These ponies should be in better condition and if they do not improve, they will struggle going into the winter, especially if we have snow again.
