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...

Pony in Poor Condition at Goodameavy
Our welfare assistant was approached by a worried walker who said she had seen a pony in very poor condition on the Down at Goodameavy. The welfare assistant was on the scene within minutes and located the grey pony quickly, it was apparent the pony was under weight and seemed very stiff in its hind hips. We are trying to locate this ponies owner and will report it asap.
08/03/2012 : We have identified this ponies owner, she is an old mare and we will monitor her condition. At present she is keeping up with the herd so we feel she is better off staying with them. If her condition deteriorates any further we will liase with her owner and act in her best interests.
