We received several reports about this dead pony that was lying dead beside the B3254 road on Bodmin Moor. The pony had obviously been hit by a car and suffered serious injuries - the condition of the pony on inspection showed it had had blood pouring out of its nostrils, a head injury, and intestinal rupturing and blood from its stomach area.
If the driver of a vehicle hits a pony they are legally required to report the incident to the police. In many cases the incidents are "hit and runs" and so the pony in distress is not reported, and this is why ponies die as a result of internal injuries.
Local residents tell us that 4 ponies have been involved in road traffic collisions in this area of Bodmin Moor alone within the last week.
