About Lluest Horse and Pony Trust

The Lluest Horse and Pony Trust was set up by Ginny Hajdukiewicz in 1985. Ginny was so distressed by the appalling 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 (SA19 9TG), the Trust employs three fulltime and one part time welfare assistants, and welcomes volunteers throughout the year, as well as running dedicated days for people with special needs. The Trust is funded entirely by donations and is forever grateful to those people who choose to donate some of their money and/or time to help look after equines in need.
