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...

Lame Dartmoor Hill Pony Foal
SWEP received a phone call from a member of the public to report a lame Hill pony foal that was with its mother alongside the road from Princetown to Yelverton. Two of our officers attended and assessed the foal. The foal was slightly lame but it seemed to be only a very minor lameness, and more like a strain from which the foal will recover on its own. We will monitor this area and keep an eye on this foal to make sure that it recovers.
