Our welfare team received a call by a concerned member of the public. The gentlemen who reported, had been walking his dog along the moor in the roughbrough, clearbrook area and noticed a thin and scouring mare, with the weather conditions being so harsh the ponies do get the worst of it and some suffer more then others however there is plenty of natural shelter on the moorland provided by gorse hedges and bushes etc
On arrival the mare was quiet and approachable, more then the welfare assistant would of liked she was weak and needed worming and feeding, our welfare assistant contacted the owner of the pony and foal from a previous year (which was also looking in poor condition and been on her own a lot). Both mare and yearling were removed by the owner the next morning with help from the welfare assistant. Later that day the mare and yearling was seen grazing in a field happily with sheep as company.
