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...

AHVLA Meeting
Two SWEP representatives attended an AHVLA meeting about the on going welfare of ponies on Bodmin Moor. There was a lot of positive feedback and less welfare reports. Animal Health vets are now carrying out regular stock counts and checks and our welfare officer has offered to help with these if it is required. All keepers of stock in the area have received a letter explaining the condition their stock needs to be kept in. There are to be speed restrictions introduced to the Pensilva Road to try and cut down the amount of RTCs. A letter from Bodmin Commoners Council will also go out in regards to not feeding the ponies on the Moor.
