This is a grant funded position

A group of animal lovers are hoping to raise some much needed funds for a Welsh charity this March by running into the sea at Broad Haven beach. More than a dozen supporters of Lluest Horse and Pony Trust will be taking part in the "Mad March Dip" on Sunday 18th March. The daring dippers will also be joined by some four legged friends at the event as two horses are going for a swim accompanied by their riders.
 
And to be sure that the fundraisers really earn their sponsorship money the event organiser Milford Haven student  Rebecca Algieri, 19,  has come up with one golden rule - no wetsuits. " I want people to feel like we've really had to work hard for every donation, and coming from Pembrokeshire I know just how bracing the waters can be, so the no wetsuit rule seems like the perfect plan," explained Rebecca . " Lluest Horse and Pony Trust is a really deserving cause so as I'm splashing around in the cold water I'll be thinking of all the needy ponies I'm helping."

Wonderful supporter Nondus Banning-Boddy is running in the marathon at Llanelli on the 15th April 2012 in aid of the Trust.

Nondus has run many times for different charities and this time we are very lucky and grateful this amazing lady has chosen Lluest. 

The demands on the Trust are ever growing as the economic downturn has seen the numbers of abandoned and starved horses increasing daily. As soon as we are able to send a horse or pony out on loan we fill that place from the list of horses and ponies like Miar in desperate  need of help.

Miar After

People like Nondus make it possible for us to continue our work while coping with decreasing donations and rising costs. 

Please help us show Nondus how much we all value her support by donating to her Just Giving Page.

Thank you Nondus!

January has been incredibly busy and our small team do not want to wish time away but we are all longing for the spring – as are the horses. We have all had enough of the mud!

The good news however is Sapphire and Poppet and Pudding have gone out to wonderful foster homes until the Spring and our gorgeous miniature horse Patchwork has gone out to start her new life in a  wonderful loan home where she is being ridden and loving it.

We have also taken in some new rescues. One very sad case that we cannot talk about  to protect him but the pony is here and safe now.
Another of our new rescues is Robbie.  This tiny tot of a pony stands at 28 inches high and was rescued before Christmas having been found by the side of a road in a very bad way.  As you can see this beautiful pony is well on his way to a full recovery.
