Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre

Found in an isolated barn along with Captain, Hope aged 12, was emaciated and in a malnourished state left without food and water.  Two of our volunteers had to buy the two horses from their owner.   Hope was able to come to the Centre for treatment straight away, she was extremely nervous to begin with but quickly grew in confidence.  It was thought that she was in foal when she was found, but closer veterinary examination revealed she had already given birth. We do not know what happened to the foal.  She too is doing well and has put on a lot of weight since arriving here and is now a little chubby.  She is enjoying life to the full and Captain and Hope share a field during the day and have adjoining stables.

A 19-year-old youth has been arrested for mistreating animals following the discovery of the two horses in horrific conditions in a barn in Daya Vieja.

Seprona (El Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza de la Guardia Civil) has been investigating the case since the horses were rescued by Easy Horse Care volunteers on June 20.

Seprona officers visited the centre a few days later to gather evidence about the case. They were also investigating the death of a donkey close to the barn on December 6 last year. Easy Horse Care volunteers and local residents had tried to save the donkey, which had been left tethered and alone, despite being in need of urgent veterinary attention.

The case will now be referred to the courts.
