Late this evening, SWEP took in a Dartmoor Hill Pony foal that was in need of rescuing. The mother of the foal had been shot and the foal was apparently being attacked by other ponies out on the moor. The foal had a deep cut on its leg that needed veterinary attention. The owner of the foal agreed that it could be taken in by SWEP.
We think the foal is about 6 weeks old and is looking strong and healthy, and we hope that it stands a good chance of surviving. SWEP officers and volunteers have a rota system in place to make sure the foal receives the regular feeds that it requires.
