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...

Colliford Lake Callout
SWEP received a call from South West Water in regards to 12 ponies around the Colliford Lake, near Bodmin. When our welfare officer arrived the ponies had been removed. This area is experiencing on going problems amongst the local farmers. The area close to the lake is known as Redhills and there are more ponies grazing than the land size can take. Hay is some times put out and has seen on previous visits, it is an area that SWEP is monitoring.
