Extensive local enquiries and searches are being conducted and these will continue into the afternoon and evening.
Enquiries are also being made to ascertain exactly how the ponies died.
Commented investigating officer, DI Pete Simms: “It would appear that the ponies were killed in a deliberate act.

“It is important that they remain vigilant and report any suspicious incident or activity to the Police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Police on 101, or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111, quoting reference DCP-20120624-0314.
