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 Two Ponies at Long Ash
SWEP received another call regarding the coughing pony at Long Ash and a coloured pony that looked "a funny shape", in the same area. Our welfare officer went to see the ponies for herself and noticed that the coughing grey mare seemed fine and was happily grazing with her foal. The coloured pony did have a swelling on its under belly but was happily grazing and walking with ease, keeping up with the herd. Our welfare officer spoke to the vet about the swelling, they recommended the pony be monitored. She then passed the advice onto the ponies owner who was also looking at the ponies.
