Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, Rojales



Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, Rojales

The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre all started because of Luceiro. A beautiful stallion, with a horrific eye injury due to something sharp in his stable. He was then left there living in semi darkness, with little human contact, having his food pushed through the bars. The owner was going to sell him for meat. The money was raised to save Luceiro from being slaughtered and remove his infected eye. We offered him a home here with us, and so started the Rescue Centre!

About Us

Rod and Sue Weeding, founders and owners of the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre.

Rod was brought up on a farm in England, where he spent his childhood around horses. There was no “pony club” for Rod and HIS horses, as they were Suffolks and Shires. What Rod grew up appreciating though, is that the horse is something to be respected and treated with dignity and that the relationship between you and your horse is something very special.

Sue has had horses all her adult life and when she met Rod, the horses came too! Through their love of horses, and having the adequate premises, they decided to set up a livery yard where they lived in Hadleigh, Suffolk. They went on to have 15 horses on full livery, doing all of the work themselves. Sue’s view is that she feels privileged to be part of a horse’s life.

When they decided to come to Spain for a better life around 7 years ago, they brought their two rescue dogs Henry and Pepe, two very handsome Bearded Collies with them. They bought a Spanish Finca with land, and settled in to their new life, leaving the 24 hour horse care, mud and horse muck behind them, or so they thought!

Within three months, they acquired two horses that had been left in a finca, where the previous owner had died, and the new owners had got more than they bargained for. At this point there was no Easy Horse Care Rescue as such, only two people and their love of horses.

So as you can see, setting up the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, was always on the cards. They first decided to make it official when they heard about Luceiro. You can read all about his story here.

Oh forgot to mention, that in between all that, they also rescued a cat, two more dogs, two parrots, and a cockatiel.

OCTOBER 2008 Luceiro is the horse that really got us started. He was just three and a half years old. He lost an eye on something sharp in his stable and then the owner lost interest in him. He has stood in a semi dark stable with just having food pushed through the bars for nearly a year and then it was decided to sell him for meat. Can you imagine being shut in a semi dark place for most of your life with only one eye and no care ? He is now living with us at Easy Horse Care Rescue where he has the space to adjust to the outside world he has never seen Luceiro will stay with us for the rest of his life. FEBRUARY 2009  Luceiro suffered a great trauma loosing his left eye. With humans you can explain what has happened, with horses it is just a case of one day you can see and the next day you cannot, no one can explain to them that they will never see again, or how to cope in their new world. With lots of time and patience Luceiro has adapted very well to his new environment and now wants to be part of everything that is happening. He loves being outside playing with his field mate Zak, but cannot wait to get in at night for his tea. Here is Luceiro outside, modelling his fly mask, which keeps the flies off his eyes. OCTOBER 2008  At the most important time of his growth, Zak an eighteen month old Arab colt, was terribly malnourished as he was kept with many other horses, and was bottom of the “pecking order” when it came to feeding. Zak never knew the love and affection that most young horses take for granted, due to the fact that his mother was put in foal again soon after Zak was born.  Easy Horse Care Rescue stepped in and rescued Zak. He is now responding well to treatment. In only a matter of weeks he already looks and behaves like any other normal youngster, he’s very cheeky! Everything possible is being done at the centre to give him back his youth. We know that one day; Zak will make someone the perfect horse, that’s if we can ever bear to part with him. FEBRUARY 2009  Well just look at him now! In only 4 months Zak is a transformed horse. It just goes to show what a little tender loving care and the right diet can do! NOVEMBER 2008 Malibu was brought over from England by his owners. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, they found they could not afford to look after him. Malibu developed a respiratory problem due to being kept in a stable and being fed dusty food. The owner was going to have him put down, when all he needed was the right medication, TLC and access to fresh air. Malibu is now receiving all of these things and more at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre and is recovering well.  Malibu is a handsome 8 year old, dapple grey Connemara x cob and was nearly deprived of one day bringing years of pleasure to his new owner.
FEBRUARY 2009 Malibu has become a real character on the yard, wanting all the attention and when out in the field loves being in charge of his two ladies, Ginger and Spirit. Malibu will always be prone to respiratory problems if exposed to dust or kept on straw in a stable, so he receives a special diet, medication and is turned out every day to help him. Here he is with Ginger one of his ladies.

Taffeta is a 9 year old miniature pony. When we rescued her she was so thin that her hip bones had broken through her skin from laying down. Infection set in and now she has gaping holes in both sides exposing the bones. She has to have daily antibiotic injections and a great deal of care from us. It will take months to get her back to health but she seems as determined as we are to get her better It is every little girls dream to own a pony and every Fathers dream to buy her one. In this case Luna (supposedly only 16 years old) was bought for a 4 year old little girl, where no one in the family had any horse care or management experience. Although not abused, through ignorance, Luna did not receive the time and care that any horse, especially an older one needs.  Lunas owner was considering having her put down, but thankfully decided to call us first.  Luna is actually around 28 years old and will need a special diet, supplements, pain killers and lots of tender loving care to help her enjoy her life to the full. So please Mums and Dads, think very carefully before being sold that dream pony. In January 2009, we received an email from a girl called Phoebe in England, who had been told about Luna being at our Rescue Centre. Phoebe had learnt to ride on Luna whilst she was in Spain. This is what Phoebe said - In my art classes we were asked to draw and write about our favourite memories and I did when I first met Luna and how she taught me to walk, trot, canter etc and how she was sold and then finding out that she was in a rescue centre. It had my art teacher in tears it was so sad. I can't wait to come and see you and the horses. Give love to Luna and all the other horses from me please.

Love PHOEBE x
