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...

Dead Foal Caught in Fence
Our welfare team were alerted to a dead foal who appeared to be caught in a fence. They went out straight away, on arrival it became apparent the foal had not been dead long. His front leg was caught in the fence and he appeared to be cast against the sharp gorse. There were no other ponies in the area so establishing the foals owner was impossible. The DLP officer was contacted and she assured us the foals body would be removed asap.
