Huge shoutout to the amazing JLA Ltd team who came out in full force last week and absolutely crushed it with their volunteering efforts! 🎨🧽

They went above and beyond, tackling painting and power washing jobs all over the front yard stables, the shower room, and two stables in Alexandra Read. Their productivity and enthusiasm were off the charts!

After a hard day's work, they enjoyed a guided tour and are now officially hooked on HAPPA😍

It was a pleasure having such a positive and energetic group onsite. We can't wait to welcome them back again. Thank you so much, JLA! 🙌👏

We can not wait for our rescue horses in the Walter Bartley stable block to have shiny new Yellow Hill Equestrian stables!

Thank you to all our supporters for making this possible, your support is truly appreciated.

Exciting times 🥳 🙌 🐎 ❤️

You may have seen on our stories 👀 an exciting project we have lined up for a local horse charity... well... "drum roll" 🥁🥁🥁

We are proud to announce that we will be working with HAPPA - Horse & Pony Protection Association in the renovation of their Walter Bartley Stable Block which will comprise of 16 new stables! 🐴

"Built in 2006, the Walter Bartley memorial stable block has been integral to HAPPA’s ability to rescue and rehabilitate horses. However, the internal stabling has deteriorated over the years, with rusting metal frameworks and fragile wooden slats posing risks to both horses and staff.

The renovation plans include the replacement and extension of 16 stables, the installation of a new rubber matting system and two storerooms. The stables will be rebuilt with galvanised steel frameworks and recycled plastic slats, offering durability and low maintenance, the new rubber mats offer protection, comfort, and warmth for the horses. This planned upgrade will ensure that horses, ponies, and donkeys rescued by the charity continue to receive exemplary standards of care"

Rachael Wallace, Equine Rehabilitation and Rehoming Manager, remarked, “The Walter Bartley stable block, has served us well, but the stabling within the building is now deteriorating and becoming unfit for purpose. The much-needed upgrade to the stabling will enhance horse welfare, reduce maintenance costs, and allow us to accommodate larger horses.”

We will be removing the exisiting 16 stables and so if anyone is interested in rehoming these, please get in touch via email to [email protected] 📧👍

🎉Forever Home Friday🏡

This week we have a special someone on our list, say hello to Oaken! 🐎

Oaken is our 14.3h, grey Arab. He came to HAPPA along with a few other stallions, but he was definitely the most nervous. The team have worked with him every day and although he has made so much progress, he will need a very experienced home who want to take on Oaken as a Project Companion and continue his education.💗

Our Story

Founded in 1937 to help fight against the transportation of live horses to the continent for slaughter; HAPPA continues to play a major role in all aspects of equine welfare. We strive to school and place rescued animals within new homes as soon as possible and constantly promote good equine welfare through best practice & educational events. Our fully equipped Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre ensures that all of our rescued and abandoned equines are lovingly restored back to health. Our Centre nestled in the scenic hills above Burnley, Lancashire is home to between 40 - 60 equines at any one time and is open to visitors and hosts a café and gift shop on site. Our Centre also hosts a number of special events and children's workshops throughout the year and our indoor arena is available for hire. We are currently updating our facilities for our equines and visitors. You can follow the progress through Facebook, Twitter and Google + or through our website.
