Rescued just in time
For some months ARCH had been in touch with Juan (names changed to protect identities) who was feeding and watering a pretty bay mare. She was tied permanently to a tree and her alleged owner only visited her occasionally so she was always thirsty and hungry. Juan...
Thank You!
We have received some great donations recently from a mixture of fund-raising events. At the beginning of October the ramblers held a Horse and Hound sponsored walk around Los Llanos in Coin and we were subsequently presented with 900 very welcome euros for the Centre...
What does it mean to work at a rescue centre?
Our hard-working volunteer Leon recently wrote the following, which resonated with everyone involved in our charity work. We thought we would like to share it with everyone. It is sad, because every day we are reminded of the cruelty and indifference of humans. It is...
Designed by Jordan
Our new t-shirts are providing ARCH with much-needed exposure and are proving very popular. We may have to start printing some more, particularly in children’s sizes! Jordan Wood, who is studying Law at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, heard about the competition...

New arrivals (Sept 2019)
After the annual El Rocio pilgrimage earlier in the year ARCH were asked to take two horses that had been taken by the authorities. The bay mare, Charita, was confiscated having been found to be ill treated, the grey gelding, Colino, had been abandoned. Both spent...
Ponies, paperwork and patience!
At the beginning of this year ARCH were involved in a horrific rescue from a dealer's yard in Villanueva de Algaidas. We took three ponies from the dreadful conditions there and were faced with a frustrating wait while they could be legally put in our name. Finally...
