Herts police Equine alert
"URN 13 08/12/12 refers to three ponies loose on the A414 at London Colney just after midnight. Very sadly one of the ponies strayed onto the carrigeway and was hit by a car. The pony suffered serious injuries and was PTS at the scene by an attending vet. Thankfully the other two ponies were safely returned to their paddock.
Please check your horses paddocks regulary to ensure all the fencing is secure and fit for purpose to prevent such tragic incidents happening again"
Note: these are believed to be fly grazed horses ; horse owners with their own paddocks generally do ensure that fences adjoining roads are secure, this is one of a regular series of such horses along this stretch trespassing onto the dual carriageway.
If there are any incidents along here that havent been reported to police or which the police didnt record formally, please do contact Herts police Equine facebook page or Herts police direct as statistics are being collated.
The sooner fly grazing is a criminal and not civil offence, the better.
