We received a call from a concerned walker in regards to a young pony with very long feet. Our welfare assistant went to assess, after some time the pony was located and her feet were a little long however at present they are not cause for concern. Due to the excessively wet summer we are seeing many cases of moorland ponies with longer than usual feet, this is probably due to the fact the grassy areas have been soggy and not had chance to become hard. It is when the ground is hard and if the ponies walk on the tracks and roads that their feet get worn or snap naturally. However we will monitor this pony.
