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...

Callout to Lame Dartmoor Hill Pony
We received a phone call from one of the local vet practices to say that they had received a phone call from a member of the public informing them of a lame pony in the White Tor area of Dartmoor. The caller was well prepared by being able to provide a grid reference for the location of the pony. Our Welfare Officer attended the moor and found this pony whose front right leg was badly swollen. Our Officer contacted the owner of this pony who assured our officer that the pony would be removed from the moor later that evening.
