2 More Emaciated Mares found on the Bodmin Common

Over the following weeks, our welfare officer monitored these ponies.  Wild ponies have particular areas that their herds will tend to roam in, so our officer is able to find them each time a visit is made to the moor.  Both mares are pregnant and feature in SWEPs media campaign to get action for the ponies on the moor.  Their condition deteriorates over the coming weeks and they separate off from their main herd and graze in separate areas.  Both are rescued on 18th January when action finally starts to be taken by the authorities.
