We were called to come to the aid of a young chestnut foal who had been separated from his mum, he was frantically zig zagging across the road on the way to Sheeptor. Our welfare officer went straight out to assess the situation in the hope of finding mum and reuniting the pair. On arrival she found the foal trotting up the road alone, there was no sign of mum or any other ponies close by. Our welfare officer stayed close to the foal and ushered him from the road, eventually he spotted mum and the two were reunited. The stressed foal quickly suckled from mum to calm himself down and our welfare officer monitored the pair for 15 minutes to ensure they were definitely mum and foal, and that they were calm and happy.
