ANDALUSIAN RESCUE CENTRE FOR HORSES (ARCH)
“I said, “Somebody should do something about that“.
Then I realised, I am somebody” – Lily Tomlin.
What We Do
RESCUING HORSES, PONIES & DONKEYS
We are a registered charity and work closely with Seprona (environmental law enforcement) and the local police, as we have no powers to confiscate.

REHABILITATION & REHOMING
Once our horses and donkeys are fully rehabilitated, our main aim is to find them a forever home.
To see our available equines and complete an online adoption form, click on ‘Adopt’.

VOLUNTARY SUPPORT
Our charity is staffed by volunteers and we depend on fundraising activities and donations to carry on our work. Your support will mean a great deal.
