Your Legacy could put an end to cruelty and neglect for horses, ponies and donkeys in Wales
“Lluest is a charity that touches my heart, I’ve seen their amazing work not only helping equines in desperate need, but healing people too. I don’t have children, so writing my will was difficult. I’d seen firsthand how people’s generous legacies had saved Lluest, so I took great comfort in leaving a legacy to Lluest. I’m doing my bit to future proof this wonderful charity.”

I know the legacy I leave will help ponies in desperate need. It also gives me great comfort knowing that if anything were to happen to me that not only my Lluest loan pony, but my own personal pony will be safe and well cared for, for the rest of her life.
Anonymous Guardian HomeA heart for animals is all you need to leave a legacy to Lluest…
Lluest itself began as the legacy of Ginny Hadjuckiewicz. Deeply distressed by the appalling conditions and treatment of wild hill ponies and foals at local sales, Ginny was moved to act. In 1985, she founded a sanctuary to provide a safe haven for Welsh equines in need.
Tragically, Ginny lost her life in 1994 at just 38 years old. But her passion and determination live on through the Lluest Horse and Pony Trust. Since then, we’ve continued her vital work, rescuing, rehabilitating and finding approved long-term Guardian homes for horses, ponies and donkeys who have suffered cruelty, neglect, abandonment or hardship.
Over the past 40 years, legacies have been nothing short of a lifeline — not just for the Trust, but for ponies like orphaned foal Bunny (pictured). We receive no government funding and rely entirely on the goodwill and generosity of our supporters to continue our rescue work. These kind gifts play a vital role in helping us maintain our sanctuary and give equines in Wales the chance of a safe, loved and secure future.
Your legacy could be the reason a frightened pony finds safety, care and a new beginning.
From feral mountain ponies and tiny orphan foals to neglected thoroughbreds and frightened mules, we’ve given them all a second chance to live a life worth living, both at our centre and in loving homes through our guardianship scheme. Ponies like Connie who was found just in the nick of time, you can read her story here.
