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...

RTC Princetown to Yelverton Road
A SWEP member of staff reports a dead pony on the road from Princetown to Yelverton, a possible RTC. The Livestock Protection Officer was informed and arranged for the body to be taken away. We are still experiencing high numbers of RTC call outs, which proves that motorists are still driving to fast and without due care and attention across the moors. This is a criminal offence as is not reporting an RTC with any type of livestock.
