Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate abused, neglected and abandoned horses, ponies and donkeys, while campaigning for the better treatment of animals across Spain. We are a no-kill foundation and provide each rescued animal with a safe and loving sanctuary – either here at our centre or via rehoming – for the rest of their lives.

Read our latest news

As we are a small organisation reliant on volunteers, we mainly only have time to post newsletters and media releases here.

The best way to stay up-to-date with our latest rescue operations, upcoming fundraisers and events, volunteering opportunities and the daily lives of our rescues is to sign up to our newsletter mailing list (we'll send you a free downloadable desktop and phone wallpaper as a thanks!) and like us on Facebook.
