Welcome to SWEP
We are a Charity formed mainly by volunteers. Our purpose is to help moorland equines on Dartmoor and Bodmin moor, who are abandoned or suffering from neglect and cruelty, whether caused by heartlessness or ignorance.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
(Margaret Mead (1901 – 1978))
Our work involves not only the rescue and re-homing of those horses and ponies whose plight is desperate, or who have been the victims of road traffic accidents, but also promoting welfare issues by offering advice and information.
Through our pages we hope to tell more people about the work we do. Some of the stories we have to tell are heart-warming, some harrowing, but they all reflect the problems we are trying to eradicate – that is why we are seeking your support!
