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 Three

Llanarmon yn Lal to Bryn Eglwys


Gweryd Lakes

View from Gweryd Lakes

Suzie Waiting to go
The views from Gweryd Lakes were brilliant and while we were there she took the opportunity to have a good roll!

Farmers Fences
Beth's friend, Lucy, gave her an little ipod loaded with tunes before the ride to keep her company on the hills and Bethan wrote on the North to South Charity Ride Facebook Page 'Just as well no one is riding with me or they would be deafened by my singing.'
But the story of the day was one of blocked or overgrown bridle ways.

Lunch Time

One in particular had two fences across and tied up gates. I suppose this is a problem where bridleways are under used. Beth was able to negotiate the obstacle because Suzie is keeping really well so far - maybe due to the tasty veteran supplements supplied by NAF - but probably because she is who she is.

The farmers were madly silaging before the rain comes and Beth took the opportunity of a short day to have lots of grazing breaks.  They arrived at our next stop early afternoon and had time to make new friends.
