New Forest Police are appealing for information after the body of a pony was found in the New Forest on Wednesday, February 16. The body of the brown and white skewbald pony was discovered on Forest land at the entrance of Aldermoor Lodge in Ipley, near to Ipley Green. It was thought to be an older animal and was wearing a red head collar. It is not believed to have been New Forest stock. Police say there are no obvious signs of the cause of death but it is believed the animal had died on the previous day (Feb 15) elsewhere and the body later dumped on New Forest land. PC Alison Tilbury said: “Police are appealing for anyone who knows where this pony came from or with any information about this incident to contact them. “This is becoming a more common occurrence and police are appealing to owners of animals who die to dispose of their bodies in the appropriate way. Owners should contact the animal collection services, via the local council, to arrange appropriate disposal methods.” Anyone with any information should contact PC Alison Tilbury at Hythe police station on 101 or call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.
