WELCOME BACK FABIOLA!
Dear old Fabiola has returned to the Centre after a lengthy stay with our wonderful vets, Rocio and Andres, following her latest operation to give her a permanent tracheotomy, which will enable her to breathe more easily. A big thank you to all the professionals...
HAPPINESS AND HEARTBREAK
At the end of April Palmera presented her baby to morning volunteers – a huge and amazingly long-legged filly foal. After nail-biting months of waiting and constant worry over Palmera’s laminitis, everyone was so happy to welcome her to ARCH. The day after she was...
MEET THE DUKE
Our little black stallion is no longer nameless! ARCH ran a Facebook post asking for suggestions which attracted a great deal of interest and many and various names. In the end the winner was “Duke” (or Duque in Spanish) which suits him perfectly. The little pony has...

MOVING ON
MOVING ON We try to move our rescues out of the Centre once they are fit and healthy enough, so they can enjoy wider spaces and can get adapted to a “home environment” with a view to a later adoption. It also means we have room to accept more needy animals. Lovely old...
PROGRESS OF A PONY
Our newest rescue – who is still without a name –is now looking much better. A specialist vet came down from Cordoba to X-ray his grossly overgrown hooves and consult with our vet and farrier so they could be cut back into more of a normal shape. His hooves were...
YEARS OF NEGLECT
We were alerted to the plight of an apparently severely neglected pony kept in a stable in the hills north of Velez-Malaga. The little chap (in his late teens) had curling overgrown hooves, a matted and filthy coat and there was no sign of food or water in his small...
HELP FOR ZINGARO
We were fortunate to get an appointment with Christina Dreyer, a specialist in equine physiotherapy and acupuncture who treated Zingaro and gave Elly and Rocio advice on his rehabilitation. Our brave boy seemed to understand that everyone is trying to help him recover...
YET MORE RESCUES
It’s been a very busy time at ARCH over the last few weeks. As well as our high-profile cases, Zingaro and Fabiola, there were other new arrivals. Followers will be familiar with Corrie and Frontera who were two horses rescued from appalling conditions in a huge...
TELEVISION STARS!
Canal Coin, one of our local TV stations visited the rescue centre and the charity shop recently. They filmed activities at the Centre one morning and interviewed Jill and Manuela. Later they visited the shop in Alhaurin el Grande. Click the link:...
HOPEFUL SIGNS
It has been a challenging time, particularly for our horse carer Elly Brooks, whose dedication and expertise have been invaluable. Both horses and humans have been fighting hard. The weather has not helped, with heavy rain turning the paddocks into sticky mud slides....
WHAT AN INSPIRATION!
On International Women’s Day (March 8th) we celebrated the work of ARCH co-founder Jill Newman-Rogers who dedicates her time keeping the charity running smoothly by tirelessly dealing with authorities and lawyers over rescue cases, consulting with vets, sorting out...
HELPING THE HELPLESS
We have recently taken in several serious cases which have required specialist veterinary care – and this will be ongoing. Veterinary expenses are substantial and are depleting our funds at a time when we are still recovering from the last lockdown, during which our...
A DIFFERENT LIFE
When Amanda arrived at the Centre last summer she was in a sorry state. This 23-year-old mare was skin and bone, having been tethered out and virtually abandoned. SEPRONA in Huelva had contacted our animal rights lawyer, Aritz Toribio, to ask whether ARCH would be...
UPDATE ON SALTARIN
Our cute little pony has already got a large fan club and lots of people have expressed interest in adopting him. He is now provisionally reserved but will be with us for some time while we sort out his problems. X-rays of his feet showed some rotation of the pedal...
