This little pony was reported to us early in the morning when our welfare team went to look for her she was lying down just outside our yard. She was very thin and had very sore hind legs, she was covered in crab and horse flies and was very weak.
It looked like she had mud fever and on closer inspection we could see that her hind legs had become infected. We knew who the owner and tried to get hold of him but he was out of range, so we decided to bring the pony into our yard and keep her contained until we made contact with the owner.
Soon after the ponies owner came to collect her, he assured us he will give her a shot of penicillin and a wormer then put her in a grass filled paddock to allow her to recover and gain some weight.
