Redberth Croft, The Croft, Tenby (2026)

03/06/2026

A lovely evening with the Croft crew down on the beach last night! 🌊🐴

Our youngest member, Amélie, enjoyed her very first beach gallop aboard our veteran Retraining of Racehorses star, Ozzy. Alongside them, our Farm Manager,Sam Barton, took Olly for his first-ever trip to the beach – and what an experience! We’re so blessed to live here & have such amazing beaches on our doorstep.

Watching our horses continue their retraining journeys while creating special memories like these is exactly what Redberth Croft is all about.

While we don’t offer riding lessons ourselves, we’re always happy to recommend excellent riding schools and instructors across Pembrokeshire for those looking to gain experience.

We’re also exploring supported loan opportunities for experienced riders and those returning to riding, helping to make horse ownership and partnership more accessible. We currently have a range of horses at different stages of retraining, suitable for a variety of abilities and goals.

If this is something that may interest you, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch for an informal chat about the opportunities available.

🐾 How much is that doggy in the window? 🐾

Meet Luna. The former street mutt from the UAE who somehow managed to rack up a travel and healthcare bill that would make most people wince.

✈️ Etihad A380 flight from the UAE.
🏥 Two-week stay at Langford Vets.
❤️ Two open-heart surgeries.
🐕 Mixed breed. No pedigree papers. No fancy bloodline.

Worth every penny? Absolutely.

Because at Redberth Croft, we don’t see animals as livestock, projects, or possessions. They are family.

Every animal that arrives here has a story. Some have been neglected, abandoned, misunderstood, or simply never given the chance they deserved. We invest in them because they matter. Not because it’s financially sensible, but because every life has value.

Luna’s journey could have ended very differently. Instead, thanks to the support of our community, veterinary teams, volunteers, and everyone who believes that all animals & people deserve a chance, she’s now living her best life; claiming prime spots on the sofa, supervising daily activities, and reminding us all who’s really in charge.

People often ask how much running a place like this costs. The honest answer? More than we can ever put a price on.

Because the return isn’t measured in pounds and pence. It’s measured in wagging tails, second chances, and the quiet moments when a dog who once had nothing finally knows they are safe, loved, and home.

❤️ From street dog to family member.
❤️ From survivor to sofa supervisor.
❤️ From “just a dog” to priceless.

🐾❤️

We gave the market a miss today as we weren’t entirely convinced by the ever-predictable Welsh weather! 🌦️

Instead, yesterday turned into another productive afternoon clearing, cutting and splitting logs at the croft. 🪵💪

Meanwhile, Lady Duke the dog-sheep has made it abundantly clear that she’s far too much of a princess to sleep on the grass. Instead, she carefully crafted herself a luxury bed from the pile of wood shavings left behind! 👑🐶

Hard work all round… although some of us clearly have different definitions of “work.” 😄

🌿🚜 Wow....What An Incredible Community Chip In Day! 🚜🌿

A huge thank you to the fantastic volunteer team from Pembrokeshire County Council who joined us today at Redberth Croft CIC and got stuck into a very productive 'Community Chip In Day', our first organised team building activity.

Together, we processed seasoned timber and brash from ash dieback trees, alongside cuttings generated through our hedgerow restoration and conservation projects. Much of this material originated from our Branching Out project, supported by South Hook LNG, and our Hedging Your Vets project, supported by the Port of Milford Haven through PAVS; the very first projects we delivered when we began this journey less than two years ago.

Nothing goes to waste here. The woodchip produced today will be reused throughout our community market garden, helping improve soil health, suppress weeds and retain moisture. We also have surplus woodchip available to members of the public, with donations helping support the ongoing work of our volunteer-led community farm.

A special mention must go to one of our newest team members, Ben Brown, who is returning to farming after spending many years building a highly respected career as a professional chef. It has been fantastic to welcome him and his daughter Maisie Brown to the farm. Maisie is currently exploring a future career in agriculture through her studies at Greenhill School, and it's wonderful to see the next generation developing an interest in the land-based sector.

We would also like to thank A1 Servicing & Tool Hire, Narberth once again for ensuring we had the right equipment for the job and helping make the day a success.

As many people don't realise, Redberth Croft is run entirely by volunteers. Our leadership and management team are volunteers too, balancing the organisation alongside work, family commitments and everyday life. Without the support of our wider community, corporate volunteers and partners, we simply couldn't continue delivering the work we do; particularly the care and support we provide for our animals and the vulnerable people who benefit from spending time with them.

To everyone who chipped in today: thank you! Days like this remind us what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose. ❤️

Today was one of those moments that reminds us exactly why we started this journey. 💚

We were incredibly proud to welcome The Codi Trust to Redberth Croft today and to watch our members and project leads speak so openly, confidently, and passionately about the work happening here. Seeing people stand in front of the camera and share their stories, their projects, and their growth was genuinely emotional.

At Redberth Croft, we believe in a strengths-based approach — creating space where lived experience becomes a powerful platform for growth, purpose, and connection. Watching individuals discover their confidence, recognise their own value, and step into their “super powers” is something we never take for granted.

What makes this even more special is that this community has been built by people who believed in us, backed us, and saw the potential in what we were trying to create long before it became visible to others. Because of that support, we are now in the incredible position of having a volunteer waiting list and are formalising our referral pathways so we can continue to grow sustainably and support even more people.

To our team, our members, our supporters, and every single person who has walked alongside us — thank you. The commitment, kindness, resilience, and courage shown here every day is extraordinary.

We are so honoured to be building this together. 🌱

A HUGE congratulations and massive well done to our incredible team today for absolutely soldiering through the scorching heat at Carew Market raising funds and awareness for us! And thank you to everyone for their donations to our mobile pre-loved stall! ☀️👏

You’ve survived the sun, probably melted slightly, and somehow still managed to smile your way through it all; true professionals (or heat-resistant superheroes). 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Please remember:
🌞 Wear sunscreen
💧 Drink water
🧢 Hats are not optional anymore
🥵 And if anyone’s turned the colour of a tomato… we appreciate your sacrifice 😂

Thank you all for your hard work, energy, and dedication — we’re so proud of you all! 💚

An awesome day at the Sheep Spa yesterday with some of our brilliant DOIT team members! 🐑💅

Everyone got properly stuck in helping with foot bathing and hoof trimming for our beloved Valais Blacknose Sheep — and the sheep were definitely feeling better after their deluxe pedicure treatment! 😂

We absolutely love seeing our community evolve into something so much more than just experiences and pony petting. Here at Redberth Croft, people get the chance to be truly hands-on with agricultural activities, animal care, and life on the farm; building confidence, learning new skills, and becoming part of the family.

There was even a suggestion that next time we paint their hooves… now, we do treat our animals like family, but that might be a step too far! 🤣

If you’d like to get involved and join our growing community, please get in touch…we’d love to hear from you 💚

A huge thank you to the Fire Brigade for their swift response in safely putting out a car fire that rolled into our hedge and the new entranceway at Redberth Croft.

Thankfully nobody was hurt, and we’re incredibly grateful for the professionalism and quick action of the emergency services.

Please be aware that this is just off the A477 next to our new entrance, and the road is currently closed while the area is made safe. Please avoid the area and take care if travelling nearby.

Thank you everyone for your patience and support. 🚒

🚧🐴 Another HUGE stable block milestone unlocked! 🐴🚧

This weekend we are absolutely honoured to welcome fellow Veteran; Steve Bing from the amazing Black Dog Building to help us tackle the final major additions to the stable block 💪

Alongside them was our very own carpentry wizard Dai Sture, who leads on our developing Clever Carpentry project supported through Pembrokeshire County Council 🔨🪚

Together… somehow… against all odds… and with a fair bit of head scratching 🤯😂… they managed to get the beautiful Monarch Equestrian doors finally in situ!

And when we say these doors were heavy… we mean “questioning life choices halfway through lifting them” kind of heavy 🥴🤣

Massive thanks as well to the wider Croft Crew who jumped in throughout the day to hold frames, move timber, pass tools, or supervise from a safe distance and make the odd cuppa☕❤️

One more day of capping and finishing touches tomorrow and we’ll be ALMOST there 🙌

Honestly, it’s been a long few years getting to this stage. There’s been setbacks, unexpected delays, funding headaches, mud, stress and moments where we wondered whether we’d ever get there; especially following Luna’s unexpected stay at Bristol University Veterinary Hospital❤️‍🩹

But despite everything, people kept believing in us. People kept showing up. And slowly but surely, this place is becoming what we always dreamed it could be 🌱

These stables mark the first major stage towards our future Equine Assisted Therapy Centre and Racehorses Rehabilitation Centre; something built not by big corporations or huge budgets, but by community spirit, determination and a slightly concerning level of stubbornness 😂💚

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, contractor, funder, friend and believer who has persevered alongside us. Final pictures to follow soon but the dream is starting to look very real now 🐴✨
