Everything we do here at Easy Horse Care comes back to these guys – the horses we've saved from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Many of these animals lived in terrible circumstances yet managed to survive against the odds.
Here you can meet the many horses we've saved and read their incredible survival stories. You can also meet our rescued ponies here, our rescued donkeys here and apply for equine adoption here.
"Maybe you can't change the world by saving one horse, but you can change the whole world for the horse that you save." – Sue Weeding, Easy Horse Care co-founder

Luceiro is the horse that started it all; the reason our centre exists. He'd been locked in a dark stable for months, his left eye so badly injured that it was rotting. We later had to surgically remove his eye, but he remains a proud and beautiful horse.

Luna is unlike any horse we've ever encountered. She has severe psychological issues, likely as a result of past abuse, and also suffers a genetic tendon condition. But with her best friend Mimosa, this young misfit mare has found peace and companionship.

Oscar's rescue sparked some dark months. So thin he looked like a walking skeleton, Oscar was legally placed in our care before his owners contested the case. For months, we felt under siege. But we kept Oscar safe and, eventually, we all pulled through.

Sirius was wasting away on a piece of land beside our rescue centre – an old, unrideable horse with a respiratory illness, apparently of no value. While he does require special extra care, he would make a fabulous outdoor companion horse for a loving family.

These two horses were left to starve at a Murcia finca. Tamarisk was absolutely skeletal and near death – she is lucky to be alive. Fleur was thankfully in slightly better condition, but still dehydrated and very hungry. We are so happy they are now safe.
April 07, 2014
The rescue of these 14 horses in 2014 from a bankrupt horse dealer was our biggest and most expensive operation to date. Each horse was neglected, starving, and undoubtedly very near death. Now safe with us, they will never again be chained to walls.
