Mare & Foal Bought in From Eastmoor

We were asked by Animal Health Officials if we could take these two mares in from Eastmoor, they were a mare and her yearling foal and the mare was extremely thin. The two mares were with a stallion who did not want to give his girls up. SWEP staff tried to drift the pair in, however the weather was atrocious and the stallion was a hindrance. We knew we needed further help to bring the pair in, a week later we received a call letting us know the pair had been bought in and staff could collect. Staff were there within the hour and the ponies were calmly loaded onto the horse box and driven to the rehabilitation yard.

The pair are now safe and will be looked after by our staff and volunteers. The yearling is in good condition and once settled will be weaned, this will give the mare a better chance of putting on weight and making a full recovery.
