Supporters

As  a small equine charity we owe a debt of gratitude to some amazing individuals,  companies  and organisations whose donations and grants  help us continue our work in equine rescue and care for the 30 plus horses and ponies we look after here on the farm. Every contribution big or small  is SO gratefully received and truly does make a difference.  This page is dedicated to saying a HUGE THANK YOU!  

  • Nisa Store: Thank you to Sue Lewis the Manager of  Nisa in Castle Street, Llandovery SA20 0AN for putting our charity forward to receive a ‘Making A Difference’ donation of £300.00. Raising funds during this economic recession is getting harder all the time so not only does this wonderful donation mean so much to us, the support from a local business is such a fantastic moral boost for our small team.  We cannot thank Sue enough!” (Photo L to R: Lyn James, Sue Lewis and Bethan Matthews) Lluest Horse and Pony Trust - Fundraising
  • The Equine Independent http://www.theequineindependent.com (An internet magazine passionate about promoting equine welfare in training and management) Thank you for supporting Lluest!
  • Pets at Home’s Support Adoption for Pets scheme (http://www.petsathome.com) We would  like to say a HUGE thank you for awarding us with a fantastic and a much needed grant to renew a lot of our dilapidated fencing.  This has made an enormous difference to us.  We can now use paddocks that had become unsafe  for the horses and ponies and because of the smart new fencing, our visitors  will have the opportunity meet many of our residents especially our adoption ponies.
  • Enormous thanks to the Brecon Beacons Trust (http://www.breconbeaconstrust.org) for awarding us a grant to manage our woodland and create a nature trail and The Green Valleys  (http://www.thegreenvalleys.org) for support and guidance. By managing our woodland and creating a nature trail we hope to provide a beautiful place for our visitors to enjoy as walks from the farm will link to the woods and eventually down to the river. The woods will also provide an outdoor class room for community, special needs and education groups and be an ongoing project that volunteers can come and join by helping us  care for and nurture this very special woodland.
  • The Co Op in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire for letting us have collections at their store.
  • Claytons Animal Feeds (Parc Amanwy, New Road, Ammanford, Dyfed SA18 3EZ) their staff and customers for donating 80+ bags of feed. Plus a huge thank you to our volunteer Barbara Bell for setting  this up and delivering all the bags! (Winter 2012)

  • The Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust for awarding us a grant that has allowed us to purchase a much needed 4×4 tractor.
  • Rockfiled Horse Transport (http://www.rockfieldequine.com) Being an equine rescue we have to move many difficult horses and ponies. Some are unhandled, many have problems and fears and many have never loaded before. They all need patience and expert handling and transporting.   Susan George of Rockfield Horse Transport has helped us far beyond the call of duty on a number of occasions and often made the impossible, possible.  Susan particularly helps us with our more difficult cases and thanks to her patience and skill the horses and ponies respond and find confidence through Susan to load and travel safely. Susan has kindly donated many hours of her time and even an overnight stop at her farm for a particular case. We are a small charity and we are ever grateful and thankful  to  Susan for her  kindness, support  and  generosity.

In answer to our emergency plea, Mr Whitbred from Hotline overwhelmed us with a very generous donation of electric fencing and equipment for which we are extremely grateful
  • Equistro (http://www.equistro.co.uk) We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Equistro for donating a large box full of wonderful supplements to help our horses and ponies with special needs.

Their “supplements are organic, specifically targeted formulations of the highest biological value, available in a comprehensive range of applications to ensure optimum flexibility for the discerning owner.“
