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...

Report of Filly Foal that had Jumped into Livery Yard During Drift
A call came into the yard regarding a black filly foal who had jumped over a dry stone wall into a livery yard, she had a small wound on her fore leg. The owner of the yard had contacted the farmer who said he would come and shoot the pony, the yard owner did not want this to happen so called SWEP. Our welfare assistant went to assess the pony and offered to take the pony to our yard if the farmer was happy to sign her over to us. He was not happy to do this so the livery owner said she would keep the filly. We were happy with this out come.
