Pembrokeshire County Council is teaming up with Dyfed-Powys Police in a bid to tackle a growing problem of horses on public areas in the county.

The move comes after the County has witnessed a significant increase in incidents of horses being left on public land and highways – known as fly-grazing.

Many incidents concerning ‘loose horses’ across parts of Pembrokeshire have been highlighted on social media in recent weeks, especially around Pembroke Dock.

“Over the Christmas period the agencies will work operationally in a collaborative effort to alleviate the issue,” said a spokesperson for Pembrokeshire Council.

“This joint approach is in response to community concerns and part of a wider initiative that will enable partner agencies to effectively address with the issue.”
