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...

Thin Skewbald Mare Seen From B3417
We received details of a thin mare with a foal seen from the B3417 near Princetown, our welfare team were out that way so they went to look for her. She is certainly underweight, however she was with a small group of ponies who all looked well and her foal was big and healthy. The mare had plenty of milk in her udder so we decided to monitor her and her foal, we are hoping she will pick up in the next couple of weeks. If she doesn't we will contact her owner and ask them to assess.
