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...

Four New Arrivals
We were asked some time ago by a Cornish farmer if we could take in his final four ponies as he was giving up his herd of minature shetlands. We agreed and waited for the gentleman to get back to us. After a few weeks we arranged collection and bought the ponies back to our rehabilitation yard.
The four were three skewbald colts (photo to follow) and a young black mare. We soon learnt that the boys were timid and the little girl was brimming with character and confidence. As you can see from her photo she was halter trained and leads beautifully.
We will work with all four ponies and they will hopefully be ready for rehoming shortly.
