Thin Pony Near Goodameavy

 

We received a call in regards to a very thin pony near Goodameavy, a member of our welfare team went out to assess the pony. This pony is a little underweight, however not thin enough to warrant removal. Our welfare team will monitor her as we are hoping she will gain weight now the spring/ summer growth is now in full swing.

Whilst looking for the thin mare we came across this young foal who was lame in his hind leg, he was keeping up with mum and suckling so our welfare officer decided it would be best to come back the following week and see if it had improved.

UPDATE:  Our welfare assistant went out to re assess the lame foal and it was no longer lame.
