Lluagor Horses Enclosure/Round Pen

Donation protected
We need to raise funds to build a stallion enclosure to safely accommodate a 12 year old Section C stallion that will otherwise be shot.
Seven years ago I rescued a small herd of welsh cobs who were being sent to slaughter due to their breeders ill health,with the intention of rounding them up and rehoming them appropriatley.The ponies were completly ferral and unfortunatley the round up process had to be abandoned as it was likely to result in them injuring themselves.
Over the last seven years we have been using a pen to seperate and remove the younger ponies to prevent inbreeding and relocating them to our family farm with our own horses.

There were 3 ponies still evading capture.Tristan the lead stallion a 25 year old mare Sapphire and their filly foal from last year.Sadly last weekend Sapphire became ill and couldn't stand so we called the vet to put her to sleep.
We now urgently need to capture Tristan and his foal,the fields they have been roaming all their life are about to ploughed and my landlord is threatening to have them shot at my expense,as they are effectively squatting on his land,we have a pen erected and transport arranged and the ponies are at the point of capture.
All of this had been acheived so far with no financial help out of our very tight family budget but I am now asking for your help to make sure that when we get Tristan back to the farm he can be safely contained.This is my first priority.Once he is in a safe place I plan to have him castrated and will need to be able to give him access to turnout.
Future plans for him will to reunite him with his offspring and bring this unique little herd back together and further develop our idea of a healing herd alongside our domestic herd.
Our plan is to build a round pen that links to our stone barn where Tristan is now living to allow him to be turned out safely and be able to socialise with the rest of our herd until he had been castrated and can be intergrated.
The round pen could also be used as a working area in our future plans to provide an Equine Therapy Centre.
