Lluest Horse and Pony Trust is a small registered charity founded in 1985. We are an equine rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming centre, with an average of 85 horses and ponies in approved loan homes, and up to 40 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 and colleg
> provide volunteer placements for young adults in care
> provide constructive projects for adult probationers
> provide work experience
|
We are working to expand our Equine Assisted Therapy Programmes, 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. The photograph is of one of our work experience students with Gwilym who is blind in one eye.
|
We also run courses for students and owners in equine care, behaviour and training. Please contact us to go on our mailing list.
We rely 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.
