South West Equine Protection is a registered charity based on Dartmoor. We respond to wild pony emergency callouts on Dartmoor and Bodmin moors. Donations from the public enable us to respond to callouts and get veterinary help for ponies in distress. All the "wild" ponies on the moors are owned, but sadly many owners try to avoid their duty of care...

Pregnant Mare Killed in RTA
A report can in from police officer that a pregnant mare was killed out right in an RTA on the road between Tavistock Golf Club and Warren Cross. The pony was black and had been hit at around 19:00 on the night of 05/03/2012. The ponies owner was informed and arranged for the body to be removed. Our welfare officer went to see if the pony had been moved first thing in the morning, but it hadn't. She made quick call to the owner who explained it was being dealt with, our welfare assistant returned to the site at 14:00 and the pony was no longer there.
