Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre

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.

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.

🚴‍♂️ Rhine Cycle 25 – Fundraiser Update! 🚴‍♂️

After a short holiday break, I’m back with an update on my 860-mile cycling challenge along the Rhine to raise funds for Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre.

🌟 A Huge Thank You 🌟

First, a heartfelt thank you to Sanne and Marina, both wonderful volunteers at the rescue centre, for their generous donations. Your support means the world and brings us one step closer to helping more abandoned and mistreated horses. 🐴💙

Thanks also go to Lynn Byrne for her generous donation.

A special shoutout to Stephanie, a journalist who has kindly prepared an article for a Swiss publication to spread the word about my challenge. Thank you, Stephanie – I’ll do my best to make it an adventure worth reading about!

🌍 About the Route: The Rhine and EuroVelo 15 🌍

The Rhine is one of Europe's great rivers, flowing from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, passing through six countries. I’ll be following EuroVelo 15, a stunning long-distance cycling route that runs alongside the river. Expect majestic mountains, vineyards, medieval towns, and maybe a few surprised locals wondering why a Brit on a bike is pedalling past their breakfast.

😂 A Temporary Career Change: Cyclist to... Runner?! 😂

In an unexpected plot twist, my bike is currently in for repairs, leaving me temporarily stranded without wheels. Determined to stay fit, I made the questionable decision to go for a run. Let’s just say I now have a new appreciation for cyclists – my legs are deeply offended, and stairs have become the enemy. But on the bright side, if you see someone in Spain hobbling around like they’ve just dismounted a horse after a week in the saddle… it’s probably me.

📢 Fundraising Has Slowed – Let’s Give It a Boost! 📢

After a great start, donations have slowed down over the last two weeks. Every euro helps provide food, medical care, and shelter for rescued horses. If you haven’t donated yet, now’s the perfect time! Please help keep the momentum going by donating or sharing this post.

One-Week Update: Rhine Cycle Fundraiser

https://gofund.me/3b4f6691

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the Rhine Cycle fundraiser so far! I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to two anonymous donors, J A Wilkinson, Sandie and Alan, Jo, Tracey, Stephanie, Keith, and Berit for their generosity—it truly means the world to me and the horses at Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre.

I’d also like to give a special shout-out to Linda, one of our volunteers, for her incredible artwork to promote this journey. Her creativity and effort have added something truly special to the campaign—thank you, Linda!

For those who don’t know me, my name is Andrew J. Daniels, and I’m a retired foster carer for children with life limiting conditions, pianist and choral singer, originally from the UK. I wouldn’t call myself a cyclist—in fact, I didn’t own a bike for 38 years! But life has a way of surprising us, and now I find myself preparing for my second epic cycling challenge, a two-week journey along the Rhine to raise funds for the incredible work being done at Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre here in Spain.

The inspiration for my first major cycling challenge came from Matt, a remarkable boy who was fostered with me from the age of 12 until his death at 27. Matt lived with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and inspired everyone who knew him with his courage and love of life. He also inspired me to find a strength and altruistic love I didn’t know I had. After his death, I was determined to honour his memory and raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy research. Over the years, I’ve taken on challenges like skydiving, a tri-discipline event, and, two years ago, cycling from the UK to Spain—all fuelled by the memory of Matt and his indomitable spirit.

This Rhine challenge is significant not because I’m a trained cyclist, but precisely because I’m not. It’s a physical and mental test that pushes me out of my comfort zone, but that’s exactly what makes it meaningful. Every mile I pedal is a step toward supporting the amazing work of Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, giving neglected and abandoned horses a second chance at life.

As I reflect on this first week, I am both humbled and motivated by your support. Please keep sharing the fundraiser, spreading the word, and encouraging others to join in. Whether it’s through a donation, organising a community event, or simply promoting the cause, every bit of help makes a difference. Together, we can change lives—for both horses and humans.

Thank you all for being part of this journey with me—your encouragement keeps me going!

🌟 Andrew’s Rhine Cycle 2025 for Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre! 🌟

Hi everyone! My name is Andrew, and I’m proud to be a dedicated volunteer, tour guide, and volunteer coordinator at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre here in Spain. I’ve seen at firsthand the incredible work this sanctuary does to rescue and rehabilitate abused, abandoned, and neglected horses, ponies, and donkeys. Every life saved is a testament to the love, care, and commitment of this amazing charity—and now, I want to do my part to help them continue their vital mission.

🚴‍♂️ This June, I’ll be taking on an epic challenge: cycling over 1,200 kilometres along the stunning River Rhine, from its source to its mouth. It’s going to be a tough but rewarding journey, and every turn of the pedals will be dedicated to raising funds for the rescue centre.

💻 I’ve set up a GoFundMe page to make it easy for you to support this cause. Every donation, big or small, will go directly towards providing food, veterinary care, and a safe haven for the animals who need it most.

📢 But I can’t do it alone! Please share this campaign far and wide—on Facebook, WhatsApp, email, or however you can. The more people who see this, the more lives we can save!

☕ 🧠 You can also get involved by organising your own fundraising events like coffee mornings, quizzes, or even local raffles to support the campaign. Every little bit helps and brings us closer to our goal!

🏢 If you know of any businesses or organisations who might want to sponsor this challenge, please help us spread the word. Corporate sponsorships can make a massive difference, and we’d love their support in exchange for promotion through this campaign.

📷 Throughout the campaign, I’ll keep you updated with regular posts, photos, and stories—so you’ll be part of the journey every step of the way, from training to the final mile of the ride. Together, we can make a real difference for the animals who need us most.

🎥 Watch this short interview with the founder of Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, Susan Weeding, to see why your support matters so much.
Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and creativity—I can’t wait to share this adventure with you all!

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.
