Report of a Dartmoor Hill Pony with Badly Overgrown Feet

This evening one of our officers responded to a report of a Dartmoor Hill Pony mare who was out on the moor with badly overgrown feet.  The Commoners were able to help us identify the owner of the pony.  On contacting the owner, he promptly came out to meet our SWEP officer who was with the pony and its foal.  The owner agreed to remove the pony from the moor, trim the its feet, and then return to pony back to the moor. 

We will return tomorrow to make sure that the pony has been removed.

Update 26/06/11 - We are happy to report that this pony is now back out on the moor with its foal.  The mare's feet have been trimmed and the pony is looking much more comfortable.
