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...

Call Out to Pony in Distress Near Pewtor
Our welfare assistant received a call to say a brown and white mare close to Pew Tor was showing signs of colic, they were at the sight within an hour and found the mare in question soon after. The welfare assistant confirmed it was the correct pony by speaking directly to the person who had reported it. The pony was up and lightly grazing and showing no sign of distress. Our welfare officer sat and watched for approx half an hour to ensure the mare was ok, which she was.
