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...

Pony Killed on B3212
Today we received yet another call to tell us a pony had been killed on the B3212, the road that runs from Yelverton to Princetown. Yet again we call on motorists to SLOW DOWN and stick to the 40mph speed limit. This speed limit has been set in place for a good reason. Livestock hit by cars and other vehicles suffer dreadfully, usually from internal injuries. Their death is very often prolonged especially if the incident has not been reported.
