THE bodies of 25 ponies have been dumped near a cliff in northern NSW.
A tip-off on Saturday afternoon led police to a truck parking bay south of Old Ben Lomond Road near Glen Innes.
The officers followed tracks to a nearby cliff, where they spotted the bodies of 25 ponies of various colours and ages in the early stages of decomposition.
There were no obvious wounds on the animals or any other indication as to the cause of their death, police said.
There were no brands, tags or any identifying marks that could help police find their owner.
Officers photographed the animals then buried their remains at the site. They believe a small- to medium-sized truck was used to dump the ponies.
Anyone who noticed suspicious or unusual behaviour in the area is urged to contact Glen Innes Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
