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 Four - Bryn Eglwys to Bryn Cieriog

A very BIG THANK YOU to Margaret and Brian at Cae Crwn Farm.  It sounded as though Beth was in her element: donkeys, homemade scones, cobs and carriage driving - just a list of some of her favourite things and all at Cae Crwn.

There were some concerns about Suzie as she had not really been eating her hard feed and Beth asked me to contact an equine dentist to possibly meet up at the weekend when she is due for a three day break.  I managed to contact Geraint Hughes from Llangurig who was very helpful and willing to meet up with Beth during her ride.  But the good news is that Suzies ate a good, full breakfast abd Bethan is no longer worried!

On her way.
A bit overcast!
Beth's post on Facebook 'Rain and wind on my birthay. Should have asked for a pair of ear warmers. Sorry the pics might be less exciting today as its not very clear.'

An exciting day for Suzie with a railway line (none of those around here) and a big river to cross.
River Dee

Bethan also commented 'I think Suzies enjoying the views as much as I am'

Possible overnight?



We had a minor hicup towards the end of the day when the tracker didn't seem to be picking Beth up and there was no mobile phone signal.  Panic over when we learnt that she had arrived at her next stop but still a little worried about tracker.
