Pony With Overgrown Feet Near St Breward

We were called out by worried members of the public in regards to a pony with extremely overgrown front feet. The pony was in a group of three, one person who reported them believed they had been abandoned as they were very friendly. On arrival the two older mares were indeed very tame and let us handle them and check their feet, teeth and condition. The young colt was timid and would not allow us near to him. He was, however, in an acceptable condition and his feet were OK. Whilst in attendance a local farmer passed us and assisted us with our enquiries. We had a conversation with the Bodmin moor livestock protection officer who assured us the ponies would be removed from the moor. The owners of these ponies could not be identified so the local farmer who helped with our enquiries offered to take the ponies in and see to their feet.
