A safe haven for horses and ponies
The Lluest Horse and Pony Trust was set up by Ginny Hajdukiewicz in 1985. Ginny was so distressed by the condition and handling of wild hill ponies and foals in local sales, that she decided to create a charity for Welsh equines to offer them a refuge and safe haven.
Located at Beili Bedw Farm, Llanddeusant, Llangadog, in Carmarthenshire, the Trust employs three full time and one part time welfare assistant, and welcomes volunteers throughout the year, as well as running dedicated days for people with special needs. The Trust is funded by donations.
