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...

Pregnant Mare Killed in RTA
SWEP received a call from a police officer to report that a pregnant mare had been killed out right in an RTC on the road between Tavistock Golf Club and Warren Cross around 19:00 on 05/03/2012. The owner had been informed and was arranging for the body to be moved. Our welfare officer arrived at the site the following morning and the body was still at the side of the road so she called the owner to find out when it would be removed, he assured her that it was being dealt with and the pony would be removed that day. Our welfare assistant returned to the site at 14:00 and the body was no longer there.
