Lluest Horse and Pony Trust is a small registered charity that started in 1985.  We are an equine rescue/rehabilitation centre, with an average of 85 horses and ponies in approved loan homes, and a further 34 cared for at the farm located in the beautiful Brecon Beacons.

We are entirely dependent on voluntary donations and fund-raising activities.

Our work is in frontline equine rescue responding to calls about horses and ponies in trouble or distress. We provide specialist rehabilitation and training and monitor and address welfare issues across the industry such as standards at markets and indiscriminate breeding.


We also run programmes to:

>
provide interactive sessions for children with disabilities and special needs
> provide work experience for young people with learning difficulties
> provide  volunteer placements for schools
> provide  volunteer placements for young adults  in care
> provide constructive projects  for adult probationers
 
Due to the success of the above we are looking to expand our education and work experience facilities to be able to bring people and animals together providing opportunities for our local community and community projects across Wales.

Starting in 2011 we will  be running courses for students and owners in equine care, behaviour and training.
 
We reliey on fundraising and public donations to continue our vital work and we are determined to remain strong during these difficult times - so we  are actively researching grants and making applications.
