Very Thin Mare's on Lynch Common

We had a report of some underweight ponies on Lynch Common, near Sheeptor, our welfare assistant went out to investigate. She came across this mare and foal, the mare looked underweight and the foal small. Our welfare assistant watched the mare for a while and watched her grazing and moving on, which she did successfully.

Our welfare officer contacted the owner of the ponies, who was aware some were looking poor, and agreed to monitor them. They assured us that they were providing supplementary hay.
