The commons around South Wales have become barren and an unforgiving terrain over the years, because of the lack of land and animal management, thus leaving little or no food for the grazing ponies.

The lack of management has led to over-breeding and the land being over-grazed, coupled with horses being dumped on the commons, the pure Welsh Mountain Pony is slowly being eradicated.

Many ponies are found emaciated and dying in desperate need of help.  It is a pitiful sight to see.  The team (all of whom are volunteers) aim to rescue & re-home ponies that are suffering and in need of care and feed the ponies over Winter where funds & donations permit.

The team of volunteers work tirelessly and aim to reduce the number of ponies grazing the commons, by promoting breeding controls.  All ponies taken into our care are castrated when ready, chipped and passported, before being re-homed.  Every potential re-homer is vetted to ensure each horse goes to the best home where they can be loved as every animal deserves to be.

The team frequently attend injured horses involved in road traffic collisions on the Commons, sadly many of them do not make, but the team ensure their suffering is reduced.

Due to the equine crisis that we see today, our work has expanded to include domestic equines, where owners either abandon them or can no longer afford to keep them in and around South Wales. 

We are volunteer led, so all our funds go to the ponies in our care.Our ethos is that every life is precious, so we often take the unwanted colts and stallions, castrate them and find them a forever, loving home.
