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...

Colliford Lake Callout
SWEP received another call from South West Water in regards to anther herd of 12 ponies at the Colliford Lake site. Our welfare officer informed a member of the Bodmin Commoners Council who assured her these ponies would be removed. The same member advised our welfare officer that there had been 4 fatal RTAs on the Pensilva Road in the past week and that speed signs were still in the process of being erected. Even so motorists should still be driving with care and attention where they know livestock are present.
