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...

Unclaimed Mare & Foal Come to the Sanctuary
The mare and foal who were left unclaimed after the Merrivale drift have been taken in by SWEP. The Reeve, who temporarily took them in, and the Commoners did all they could to try and establish an owner however no one came forward and the pair were signed over into our care. Both ponies are healthy with a good, calm nature. The foal is a colt and will be weaned shortly, he will live with a small group of other babies who have recently been weaned. The mare will be moved in with a group of mares, the mothers of the weaned foals.
We believe this particular mare is in foal, so we will inform our readers of any suprise arrivals when and if they occur.
