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...
