Authorities issue a reminder to visitors after a girl is injured at a forest campsite. Reports say the incident involves free-roaming ponies in a national park area where livestock are not confined and can approach people. In response, the national park urges the public to keep a safe distance from ponies and other animals, especially in and around campsites and picnic areas. Visitors are advised not to feed or attempt to handle the animals and to remain alert if ponies or livestock move close to tents, paths, or food areas. The guidance is aimed at reducing the risk of bites or knocks that can occur when people are too near. The warning applies to families and all park users, including those travelling in groups or with children. The notice is presented as a precaution following the reported injury, with the park emphasizing that livestock should be treated as wild animals even when they appear calm.
