The severely injured horse abandoned and left to die in the campo, (along with another who was not lucky enough to be rescued in time), is doing well. He is still at our vet's stables receiving daily treatment but is putting on weight and eating well. He had a slight...

“Maxi” is ARCH’S tiniest rescue. He may only be the size of a big dog, but he is every centimetre pure horse! This ten-year-old little stallion was found abandoned, tied to a fence. He came to the Centre several weeks ago, was unclaimed and is now legally ours. We are...

For the last three years Elly Brooks has been in charge of horse welfare and rehoming at the ARCH Rescue Centre. She has been instrumental in helping the charity grow and has consistently worked to her very high standards. Elly has been involved with an amazing...

Over the past few weeks ARCH has taken in seven new rescue cases. The Centre is full to bursting and volunteers are having to deal with a heavier workload in the hot weather. But it is difficult for us to refuse to help when we hear of an animal in dire need. Last...

The poor horse we rescued last week in such an appalling state is still with the ARCH vet, Rocío, where he is receiving the best of care and intensive daily treatment. His wounds are looking slightly better though his future is by no means certain. The severe injury...

“How can anyone do this to an animal?” It’s a question animal charity volunteers have asked for too long – and, sadly, continue to ask. There appears to be no end to the cruelty that some people are willing to inflict. This week ARCH received an emergency call from...

We now have two grey mares in rehabilitation here at the Centre. Both victims of cruel neglect and both from Huelva. “Maggie” (above) is the remaining rescue of the pair who arrived recently, when sadly her companion had to be put to sleep on veterinary advice after...

Once again ARCH have taken in horses in distress at very short notice. Our animal rights lawyer contacted us late one evening and asked if we were willing to step in as SEPRONA wanted to confiscate them. Although the Centre is full at the moment we could not refuse as...

Our newest rescues have benefitted from their time at ARCH and are looking much better than they did on arrival earlier this year. Veterinary care, good feeding, grooming and loving attention have made a great difference to their lives, as have the safe and peaceful...

ARCH were contacted by Corazón Blanco Animal, an animal charity in Axarquía who alerted us to the plight of a female donkey, whose owner had apparently sold his house and abandoned his animals in a very poor state, We have taken in a large number of rescues recently...

ARCH have now compiled a book about some of their many rescues. You can view this by copying the link below and pasting it into your browser.  Because of the format it is only really visible on a larger screen than a mobile phone - on a desktop, a laptop or a tablet....

Looking after horses in the rain is never easy! So, a big thank you to all our volunteers who have got drenched during the past week. We were lucky to have such dry conditions for so long this winter and the crops and gardens definitely needed watering. The...

Our appeal has resulted in a wonderful response from our supporters, and we can’t thank you enough. Donations so far will enable us to get through the first crucial ten days. Our vet has now been to carry out an emergency assessment (in torrential rain) and, as we...
