LEARNING FOR THE FUTURE At ARCH we are committed to educating the younger generations about horse care and, hopefully, create positive attitudes in the future. Recently students from Colegio Internacional Torrequebrada spent some time at the Centre for a project they...

Our dear old lady Abuela (Granny) died suddenly from a heart attack. She was probably pushing 30, with few teeth and arthritis but had been enjoying life, attention and food up to the end. Found abandoned and running wild, she came to the Centre last summer and had...

We received a call from the police about an abandoned, starved horse a good 4 hour drive away from Malaga. What we found was a 25-30 year old pony, tethered in the full sun without any water or food and basically left to die. “Guerrero” made the trip to the rescue...

MEET LEO! An update on our mare and foal. Our “miracle baby” is now back at the Centre with his Mum Curra and thriving. The dedicated team of ARCH volunteers who have been on call during the day and sometimes well into the night have done amazing work. Curra has had...

When Belgian student Tess spent time at ARCH last autumn she fell in love with a young donkey we had named Jez.  Jez had been brought to the Centre by the local police in Malaga where he had been found abandoned and tied to a lamppost.  Recently Tess came back on a...

Curra, one of the four rescued mares gave birth to a little colt three weeks after she came to the Centre, in a shocking condition of starvation. At first it was doubtful that the little man could survive or that Curra could manage to feed him, but against all the...

SEPRONA contacted ARCH about the dire need of several horses dying of starvation in Malaga. This was one of the worst cases we had encountered and there was no one else for SEPRONA to turn to. Although the Centre is full to bursting we felt we had to help, offering to...

The Rescue Centre has just taken in more apparently abandoned animals found running loose in the campo just to the north of Malaga. We were full before, now we are full to bursting and can take no more in until we can rehome some of our existing residents. More...

Four years ago a severely malnourished and scruffy young mare arrived at ARCH, in such a bad condition that our animal rights lawyer Aritz Toribio used her case in his internet seminars to show the extent of animal abuse. He called her Princesa in the hope that her...

Visitors to the Rescue Centre on Sunday mornings will now be offered vouchers kindly donated by local supporters. Andrew Allington who runs the complex Cortijo Fruitful Hills a short way from ARCH is inviting our visitors to come to his Quiet Garden (a worldwide...

ARCH has taken in yet another abandoned horse. The grey mare was wandering loose in the campo in the dark when she almost caused an accident. As is too often the case, she has a microchip, but the registered owner declares he sold her/gave her to someone else. While...

Followers might remember the high-profile case of a small black pony back in March 2021. Little Duque, as we named him, was the victim of shocking and long-term neglect. Confined to a tiny enclosure without any proper care, his hooves had grown like curving horns, his...

Caramelo first arrived at ARCH early in 2021 following a high-profile SEPRONA operation against an unscrupulous horse dealer. He had been concealed with a mare in another location, both horses having physical problems which, presumably, made them unsaleable.  The...
