One of our SWEP officers spotted this Dartmoor Hill Pony in poor condition. We will continue to monitor this mare out on the moor. The mare is below the ideal body weight, particularly for this time of year. Her foal is healthy and the mare is bright and active out on the moor. This owner has told us before that he would rather shoot ponies in poor condition and get paid for the meat than have to pay for the vet to attend them, hence our decision to monitor the mare for the time being.
