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...

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...

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...

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...

Many of the cases we deal with occur because people have no knowledge of how to care for horses or donkeys Meet our newest rescue – a gorgeous little six-year-old pony with spectacular chestnut and white colouring. We were contacted by SEPRONA in Motril who intended...

Little Lunita went to her new home last week, somewhere that could not be more different from the conditions she lived in before coming to the Centre. She will have freedom, forage and a friend instead of lonely solitary confinement. There are two small girls in her...

Our lovely Palmera is getting bigger – width-wise that is, as her foal is growing. She is also getting heavier, which brings with it more concerns. There is some hopeful news. Our vets have been back to take more X-rays and were amazed to discover that her pedal bone...

Our special boy Lucky - who came to ARCH when he was just two days old - has gone to his new home. Although we had a lot of interest in Lucky, our horse carer and head of homing, Elly Brooks, was determined to find him the ideal situation where he could continue to...

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,...
