We received a call from a worried walker who had seen a lame grey mare near the lakes close to Cadover Bridge. Our welfare assistant went out to find the mare and assess her condition, by the time she arrived the mare and her group had moved to the mire on the other side of the road.
It soon became apparent the mare was lame in her hind rear leg, when standing she was reluctant to put weight on the leg and when walking she did so with a limp. There were no signs of swelling or obvious injury. Although obviously lame she was able to keep up with her group and graze.
Our welfare assistant attempted to track down the mares owner, which is proving difficult as she and her herd mates don't have any obvious means of identification. We will continue to look for her owner to report her lameness and try and seek a positive outcome for this mare.
