PIT PONY STEEL
A Pit Pony from the 1990's, Steel retired after a lifetime working
in Welsh Private Coal Mines. He has breathing problems from the coal dust
in his lungs. We have to take special care of Steel and the other ex-Pit Ponies
at the centre. He has settled in well and enjoys the peace and rest in his
retirement home that he so much deserves.

PIT PONY DYLAN
Dylan was a rented Pit Pony. He worked in many of the small private mines. For £25 per week he would have come to work in yours! He suffered a spinal injury and with the decline in the price of coal was sold as a riding pony.
However with his back injury and strength he was unsuitable for riding, He retired to the Centre in 1999
