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...

Poundsgate Pony Drift
SWEP were aware that there would be a drift today and were informed it was near Poundsgate but our informant thought it was all over. A member of the Welfare Team travelled out to be sure. On arrival she became aware of a small group of ponies galloping away from where the drifters were congregated, they were being pursued by a group of horseback riders. These ponies were rounded back up by the whooping team of riders who then galloped them back across to the holding pen, the group had a number of mares and two foals.
