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...

Hallworthy Moorland Pony Sale - 1st Sale
The standard at todays first annual pony sale was high and the initial attendance was high during sale of riding horses and young stock. However interest dwindled when the moorland ponies entered the sales ring, many went unsold other than some of the larger ponies.
A pony with a large sarcoid was refused entry by the auctioneer but was bought outside the ring and signed over to SWEP's care. She has recieved treatment and is recovering at our rehabilitation yard.
