HELP NEEDED THIS WEEKEND!
We really need help with the hay gathering - if anyone can please help us out. I’m happy to throw the bales into the truck on my own but James needs help stacking them inside the truck. Please message me for more details. About 5-6 hours work.

Apologies for any inconvenience. We hope to be back open for visit days soon.

Chilli is looking for her forever home!
Another horse I really don't want to rehome, but know I have to 🙁
Serious, and only the best homes considered for this little horse.
What Chilli lacks in size she makes up for in sass. She's around 10hh-11hh (about 110cm) and about 7 years old
She was rescued from the wildfires last summer with a lot of skin issues and allergies. After a lot of work rehabbing her, her hair has grown back although she still suffers with her issues during summer which are fixed by a cortisone injection every 6 months and sebacil washes. She's just had her injection done and I've began her washes to keep her comfortable. She would make a great pet with some work, she is sweet but she's still quite shy and unsure of people sometimes so she needs an experienced and patient person only.
Please send me a message for further info.
(Last pic is the day she arrived)

Please pay attention to this post!

There have been some changes to our rescue that will be implemented going forward. I’ve taken a long time to think about these changes and I believe this is the best thing to move forward for everyone involved, at least for now.

We are no longer a public rescue. The rescue will be private. The reasons are many but the main ones are that I’m essentially on my own now in terms of running things, and there is no way I can run a charity, and look after the horses, and work full time with James also working so much. It’s just not possible. The sad truth is that there is no one around that has the same passion I do for the rescue horses and I ideally need another 3 of me to run an official organisation besides the actual looking after the animals 🥹 this doesn’t mean we are no longer helping horses, or helping the current rescues. The work continues and will not change. We will still share videos and photos and updates with you all.
It also doesn't mean we are no longer hosting open days or parties. I still want to educate the public and have times where people can come see the work we’ve done and our horses and celebrate that. James will be there at the rescue for visiting hours this summer, using his free time in the evenings after work every Tuesday and Friday from 6pm-8:30pm. I will be working A LOT to manage everything financially so will not be around much apart from the early morning shift.

We also will still be grateful for any volunteers and workaways to come help us. This summer we have a lovely volunteer from America staying with us to help, and a couple of our wonderful regular volunteers once or twice a week, but ideally we would still need people to come and help feed the horses/help with cleaning stables in the mornings so that the work is done faster, as well as help during the hay gathering. Find out how by messaging us for more info!

We won't be posting for monetary help online. But there are other ways to help if you wish to.

Donating directly to the feed shop Pet shop - ζωοτροφές ΝΙΝΟΥ in order for us to collect the food we need every month for the rescues from there.

We have made an Amazon wishlist of items which you can purchase directly online and that will be sent to us. We particularly need haynets and fly protection right now coming into summer!

Donating hay bales would be most appreciated and helpful to us. Hay is our biggest burden and if you'd like to find out more about helping us with the hay for the rescues please send a message.

I’ll continue rehabbing the horses that need it, horses will be rehomed and those who are not suitable to be rehomed will always have a place with me to live out their life, safe and happy. We have a couple of horses right now that can be adopted 🙂

If you can help in any way with our cause, we would appreciate it so much. Thank you. It is hard to do this alone but it must be done. Thank you all for the continued support.

Happy Easter from us at Corfu Horse Rescue ❤️🐣

Καλό Πάσχα από μας 🐣💖

Dallas is looking for his forever home!
I’m incredibly sad to give Dallas away, and I wish I could keep them all but it isn’t possible.
Dallas is genuinely the most gentle and sweet horse to humans I think I’ve ever met. He is an absolute delight. He is a real family friend and we would love to find him a nice family or person to keep him as a pet. So we are looking for a non ridden home. He doesn’t need much! Regular meals and cuddles with some space to move around and he’s happy. We would prefer someone experienced with horses to take him on but are open to beginners having him as he is such an easy guy. We would help with educating and always be on hand to help. For this reason I would prefer to keep him on Corfu. Kind and compassionate people looking for their best friend need only apply. This horse is special. He is a horse that prefers his own company or being around humans, and doesn’t get on too well with the other horses, so it is also possible to rehome him alone.
He is around 16-17 years old and has gone through extensive rehabilitation to become sound and comfortable.

Our Easter party last Sunday was a great success! Thanks so much to all who came and a huge thanks to sponsors Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa gravity.pole.studio & volume 2 gallery

A massive thanks to Daeche Creative for these fantastic photos and thank you to all our helpers that made the day so wonderful ❤️

I must mention, however, that a lot of our gorgeous decorations were taken home by people from the Egg Hunt field and we would kindly ask that they are brought back. My amazing and very generous sister spent a lot of money on those and brought them all the way from America to create a magical atmosphere and aesthetic for your children to experience. They aren’t chocolate eggs and they were hung in trees to avoid being picked up.
Things like this will stop us from hosting parties for the community and it’s a shame for the children who absolutely loved the event and those who wish to support our cause. We cannot buy decorations every year to just be taken by people they don’t belong to.

Any one who brings our decorations back will be allowed for a little ride on one of the ponies, as a thank you. We would appreciate them back. Thanks!

Good afternoon all ❤️
For anyone who was interested in our recent post looking for a volunteer, there is a similar opportunity at the riding club on Corfu
Ippikos Athlitikos Omilos Kerkyras -IAOK for the summer. I know the stables personally and this would be a great job for anyone motivated and reliable ❤️
