A look back over the welfare department.....

Firstly i would like to take this opportunity to say, thank you all for supporting South West Equine Protection, your support has helped us save many ponies and get treatment for those in need.


2013 was a very busy year for the welfare team at South West Equine Protection. We had a variety of calls out from lame ponies, injured and even a pony stuck in a tree.... The situations these ponies can find themselves in at times can be heart breaking but we always act quickly and effectively to get the best result for the pony.


We are a fast growing charity who rely on your support, not just by donating money (although that helps massively) we need people to do checks on prospective homes for our ponies, keep an eye on moorland ponies while out walking..... There is always something to do at SWEP so give us a call if you think you can help!! Helen is always willing to chat to people who want to help!!


As a brief summary and comparison of our last 2 years you will see a significant rise in ponies needing help.,...
In 2012 we were called to help:
31 moorland ponies , 19 Private call outs , 23 Equine sales and 12 ponies were taken in to SWEPs rehabilitation yard.
Last year, 2013 we were called to help:
66 moorland ponies , 21 private call outs , 24 Equine sales and 19 ponies were taken into SWEPs rehabilitation yard.


As you can see there is a huge rise in Moorland ponies needing our help so we are always busy here but we are NEVER to busy to help a pony in need so PLEASE do make sure if there is anything that concerns you let our team know.
