  Descrição

  We are an equine welfare charity in the Brecon Beacons S.W.Wales, UK. During its time the Trust has rescued, rehabilitated and found new approved Guardian homes for 100's of horses and ponies having up to 30 residents cared for on the farm at any one time.
  
  It was founded by the remarkable late Ginny Hajduckiwicz who sadly passed away at the young age of 38 leaving the trust as her legacy. 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 can be assured that every penny possible goes towards the care of our horses and ponies. Our aim is to always restore our animals to full health, and through our Guardianship scheme, find them a loving purposeful loan home where they can live out the rest of their life in safety.
  
  The Trust is located in a beautiful but secluded area of Wales, surrounded by beautiful views and an abundance of wildlife.
  
  On the farm we care for up to 25 horses,ponies and donkeys at any one time, we have further 150+ in Guardian loan homes around the UK. As well as the care and protection of horses we run pilots of Equine facilitated learning and equine assisted sessions for learners and people with additional needs. We also work in collaboration with local colleges and residential homes to allow people with disabilities and additional learning needs to help and spend time with the horses.
  
  We have 2 cats on site Billy and Archie and they love a nice warm lap to curl up on.
  
  There is no public transport available directly to and from the farm. At certain times we may be able to pick up and drop off at Llangadog train station. The farm is located in an area of natural outstanding beauty, there are plenty of beautiful places to walk nearby to the farm, the red kite feeding station is less than 3 miles away, with Llyn y fan and Usk Resorvoir less than 6 miles away. There are local taxi services, but these can be expensive.
  
  Those with their own transport could visit Pen y Fan, Carreg Cennen Castle, and some of the beautiful coastlines of Gower, Pembrokeshire and Cardigan.

  Ajuda

  Under the guidance and instruction of experienced members of staff we need help with the day to day care of the equines on site, mucking out, filling hay nets, feeding, giving medication, grooming and training them for new homes.
  
  Helping us in our onsite charity tack shop to sell donated items to benefit the charity. During the summer months we will be attending local and county shows with a stand to promote our work. We will need help loading the van, setting up and manning the stands.
  
  We hold fundraising events on site and will also need help with organising and running the events.
  
  We also need help to fix fencing, field shelters, painting stables, buildings etc as well as general farm maintenance, strimming and tidying up and improving the rescue.
  
  There is a woodland area, and we welcome anyone with knowledgeable in woodland management. We are putting together a project for the woodland area to be more accessible to members of the local community and for education. In this area we would like to improve the habitat to encourage local wildlfe. There is a broken wooden bridge crossing a stream that we need help rebuilding.
