Dead Foal Near Plasterdown

We were called out to attend to a piebald mare who seemed distressed standing over a dead foal on the way to Plasterdown. Our welfare assistant went out and located the foal immediately as it was by the side of the road, however there was no sign of the mare or any other ponies in the area. The foal was a newborn, possibly still born as it was still in foetal position and his hooves had signs of eponychium.

The DLP officer arrived soon after and reported the owner was aware and would collect the body.
