 LENA
WARBY - SWEP would like to say thank you and goodbye to very
dear friend and valued volunteer who has sadly passed away.
Lena, a willing participant at SWEP events and helper in our Charity

benefited from her unselfish efforts. We offer our condolences
to Lena's family and our thoughts are with them at this very sad
time.

An
update on CARN who came into SWEP care in June 06.
Carn was
a 2 year old Colt
whose owner and helper tried to halter break him using archaic
methods. This left Carn frightened, confused and afraid of
humans. Traumatised Carn was going to be put down.
SWEP was alerted to his plight and he came into our care.
This update has been written by Carn and sent in by his loan Mum
and has not been edited or changed in any way.

SWEP Loan Update:
 "Candy
joined us from SWEP in Jan 04. She has helped a very
nervous little girl and a (not so nervous) boy learn to ride.
Candy proved herself to be a match for all the other mares in
the field and quickly elevated her position to become lead mare.
She has always been kind, trustworthy, bombproof and is
considered a permanent member of our family."
EQUINE FAIR - Duchy College
The Equine Fair was organised by EQWEST
Veterinary Surgery. SWEP is one of three Charities to gain
from this event as the proceeds are divided between them. SWEP
was given the opportunity to give a talk on our work and the rescued
equines; we were also given, free of charge, a Stand so we could
give out leaflets and information.
The day was a great success with lots of
Trade Stands, lectures and demonstrations and South West Equine
Protection would like to thank Jeremy Hyde (Vet) and Kieran O'Brien
(Vet) and all the staff at EQWEST Veterinary Surgery and
congratulations to you all on a successful day.
DARTMOOR -
March 06
SWEP attended a newborn foal that had
arrived very early in the Season. The weather was below zero
with ice and snow. Both the mare and foal were in good health.
SWEP informed the owner and advised that the mare and foal should be
taken in for their welfare. The Farmer owner removed them both
to his farm.
