North to South Wales Charity Ride: Day 6 - Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant to Lake Vyrnwy

Lluest Horse and Pony Trust And What they do.

Lluest Horse and Pony Trust is a small charity running a rescue/rehabilitation centre, with an average of 90 horses and ponies in approved loan homes, and a further 35 or more equines cared for at the trust. Nestling against the Black Mountain in the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside. The Trust is entirely dependant upon voluntary donations and fund-raising activities. Anybody who gives to this charity will be assured that every penny possible is used on the purpose it is given- to care for the animals. It particularly covers the Swansea and Llanelli areas, some of the worst in the UK for stray horses and ponies. The aim is always to restore animals to full health and find them a loan home, if this is not possible they are assured a safe home for the rest of their natural lives.
I am undertaking a sponsored ride starting in Prestatyn on the 13th August and ending in Sennybridge Show on the the 3rd September. It will take three weeks and I will be covering 300+ Miles with Suzie my 22year old arabx mare rescued by Lluest in 2009

Day 6 - Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant to Lake Vyrnwy

Well I 'nipped' up to see Bethan on Thursday to give her some food and see how things were going. After having some worries about Suzies mouth getting saw Beth is now riding her bitlessa dn says she is brilliant, no special bitless bridle just her normal without a bit - who needs all this fancy kit?

Once again the views were stunning. There are so many great places to see in our own country yet we still like to venture further afield.

Forestry tracks are great for getting around and have opend up a whole new field of tourism with horse and cycle tracks - I bet they get a bit boring though sometimes!

Suzie looks almost serene, very calm and enjoying the entire experiance.
