It can be heart breaking when an old rescue horse arrives at the Centre. So often they are painfully thin and weak, the light has gone from their eyes and their spirits appear broken. You can see that in their prime they must have been someone’s pride and joy and you...

Some months ago we were approached by SEPRONA in San Roque, who were pursuing the case of a large dealer's yard full of apparently starving and neglected horses and donkeys. We offered our support, as we always do when approached by the Police. Recently they have been...

We would like to share some of our success stories from a difficult year. It is always heart-warming to receive "happily homed" photographs from adopters and fosterers of our rescues. It makes us realise how important our work is, particularly when we remember the...

There are some acts of cruelty so vile that we almost hesitate to share them as we know they will upset our followers. But we feel it is important for the wider public to realise some of the challenges we face and why charities such as ours are so vital in the fight...

This PRE mare came to us in the summer suffering from low-grade laminitis and this, sadly, has worsened over the months. She is suffering from Cushing’s Disease and is on daily medication. Her hormones are complicated by the fact that she is pregnant and. of course,...

When you think you have seen it all, another rescue comes along to shock even the most hardened of our volunteers.  ARCH had been contacted by a mother from east of Malaga, whose son had fallen in love with an apparently abandoned pony near their house. They had been...

 ….. an update on some of our recent rescues. The two mares and the filly foal rescued from starvation are doing well. They are gaining weight and confidence. The older mare, Bandolera, is now friendlier and easier to handle, the smaller one, Bella, is still wary but...

It would seem that the miracle we were hoping for has happened and Angelica is on the road to recovery, thanks to the veterinary expertise of Rocio and the devoted nursing of Elly. This young mare has patiently endured painful treatment to drain the deep-seated...

Recently we received the sad news that our little Valiente had died after a severe bout of colic. The story of Hope and Valiente touched many hearts. These two young Welsh ponies - still only babies - had been confined in cramped and dark conditions for a long time....
