Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre

Founded in 2008, our non-profit rescue centre saves neglected, abused and abandoned equines in Spain. We also welcome volunteers to work in the shops.
(102)

The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre was founded in 2008 by Sue and Rod Weeding. We are British expats who had moved to Spain from England in 2001 to enjoy an easy sunshine-and-relaxation retirement. But all that changed in 2008 with Luceiro, a two-year-old stallion we found locked in a filthy and dark stable, his left eye badly injured and rotting, hurling himself repeatedly against the bars of his

stall as flies drove him crazy. Unable to walk away from such a distressing case of animal cruelty, we brought Luceiro home to our own finca – and unwittingly created a much-needed horse rescue centre. We set up our Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre near the little town of Rojales in the province of Alicante, along Spain’s Costa Blanca coastline. We now care for more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys saved from abuse and neglect. We believe that when you love an animal, you fight to save it. They may be old crocks and broken down and disabled or whatever, but for the abuse they’ve suffered and survived, they deserve a second chance. We are determined to help push for the better treatment of animals in Spain and constantly lobby authorities to change laws and punish those who abuse animals. Learn about our many donation options, including one-off donations and horse sponsorships, here: www.easyhorsecare.net/donate

We also run a network of charity shops across the Alicante province. Donations of furniture, clothes and bric-a-brac to stock the shops are gratefully welcomed. Find out more here: http://easyhorsecare.net/shops/charity-shops

Every single cent donated or spent in our charity shops goes towards the hefty feeding and care costs of all our animals. Thank you for helping us gift these equines a second chance at life.

🖤This is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Beauty.🖤
Unfortunately, Beauty has been unwell for several weeks now, and the decision has been made to give her the peace and rest she so richly deserves.🌈

Beauty had been found by San Javier Police in March 2018 after a group of kids had tied a flag around her neck and chased her down the streets.
She was skeletal, had scarring all along her spine and her suspensory system was collapsing. We could also tell this mare was especially old by the cross branded into her shoulder.
The cross on her shoulder indicates that she was alive back in 1987 when the African Horse Sickness spread across Spain. Any vaccinated horse was branded with the x to show that they were safe from the African Horse Sickness.
In regards to her spine, not only was it scarred but it was also deformed. This could mean she was ridden hard from a very young age and with a very ill-fitting saddle.
Our little old lady arrived with also emotional scars. As she is very wary of any kind of human contact, she had never fully trust a person ever again because of her past.
But, she lived a peaceful life within her herd with Dallas, Vinnie and Tamarisk, who are no longer with us. They were one of the calmest fields we had.

🖤Rest in Peace Beauty, we will miss you🖤

⭐Thanks so much to her sponsors Hernández-Mora Abogados for their support

🖤 Es con gran dolor que anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestra Beauty.🖤
Desafortunadamente, Beauty llevaba varias semanas enferma y se ha tomado la decisión de darle la paz y el descanso que tanto se merecía.🌈

La policía de San Javier encontró a Beauty en marzo de 2018 después de que un grupo de niños le atara una bandera al cuello y la persiguiera por las calles.
Estaba esquelética, tenía cicatrices a lo largo de la columna y su sistema suspensorio estaba colapsando. También pudimos saber que esta yegua era especialmente vieja por la cruz que tenía marcada en el hombro.
La cruz en su hombro indica que estaba viva en 1987, cuando la peste equina africana se extendió por España. A todos los caballos vacunados se les marcaba con la x para demostrar que estaban a salvo de la peste equina africana.
En cuanto a su columna, no solo tenía cicatrices, sino que también estaba deformada. Esto podría significar que fue montada duramente desde muy joven y con una silla de montar muy mal ajustada.
Nuestra pequeña anciana llegó también con cicatrices emocionales. Era muy cautelosa con cualquier tipo de contacto humano, nunca volvió a confiar plenamente en una persona debido a su pasado.
Pero vivió una vida tranquila con su manada Dallas, Vinnie y Tamarisk, quienes ya no están con nosotros. Eran uno de los prados más tranquilos que teníamos.

🖤Descansa en paz Beauty, te echaremos de menos 🖤

⭐Muchas gracias a sus patrocinadores Hernández Mora Abogados por su apoyo

It has been 1 year now since Bill Priday, one of our amazing volunteer, left us. He sadly died in a road traffic accident after he left our center.
Bill was a larger than life character who radiated joy and confidence in equal measure; that joy, in turn, brought a smile to other people's face as well.
🖤
As a community, we have a thought today in memory of Bill, and send our love and best wishes to his family.
----
Ya ha pasado un año desde que Bill Priday, uno de nuestros increíbles voluntarios, nos dejó. Lamentablemente, falleció en un accidente de tránsito después de abandonar nuestro centro.
Bill era un personaje que irradiaba alegría y confianza; esa alegría, a su vez, también traía una sonrisa al rostro de otras personas.
🖤
Como comunidad, hoy tenemos un pensamiento en memoria de Bill y enviamos nuestro amor y nuestros mejores deseos a su familia.

Our Story

Founded in 2008 by Sue and Rod Weeding, our non-profit rescue centre saves neglected and abused horses, ponies and donkeys across Spain's Costa Blanca region.

We’re British expats who had moved to Spain from England in 2001 to enjoy an easy sunshine-and-relaxation retirement. But all that changed in 2008 with Luceiro, a two-year-old stallion we found locked in a filthy and dark stable, his left eye badly injured and rotting, hurling himself repeatedly against the bars of his stall as flies drove him crazy.

Unable to walk away from such a distressing case of animal cruelty, we brought Luceiro home to our own finca – and unwittingly created a much-needed horse rescue centre. We set up our Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre near the little town of Rojales in the province of Alicante, along Spain’s Costa Blanca coastline. We now care for more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys saved from abuse and neglect. We believe that when you love an animal, you fight to save it. They may be old crocks and broken down and disabled or whatever, but for the abuse they’ve suffered and survived, they deserve a second chance. We are determined to help push for the better treatment of animals in Spain and constantly lobby authorities to change laws and punish those who abuse animals.

Our Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre is registered as a charitable foundation in Spain and all donations are tax deductible. Learn about our many donation options, including one-off donations and horse sponsorships, here: www.easyhorsecare.net/donate We also run a network of charity shops across the Alicante province. Donations of furniture, clothes and bric-a-brac to stock the shops are gratefully welcomed. We also welcome volunteers to work in the shops.
