About Merry...

About Marco...
💙 Marco was born in 2014 and was found abandoned in 2015 with another equine who was later named HAPPA Galaxy.
💙 He came into HAPPA to receive the care he so desperately needed. He was very nervous, timid and had not had much human contact.
💙 Now, he is a very confident, loving and cheeky cob who plays a key role in the educational team helping with our various courses.

Your contribution to our sponsorship schemes not only help the horses and ponies we currently have but also any future equine that will one day need our help 💙

📢YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED! 📢

HAPPA - Horse & Pony Protection Association is deeply concerned about the rising number of calls we’re receiving from worried horse owners and the growing instances of abandoned horses over the past 12 months.

Equine Inspectors have experienced a noticeable increase in reports of abandoned equines. Approximately 40% of equines taken in this year are classed as abandonment cases. Alongside this there is a marked increase of equines taken in due to owners simply not being able to cope and major concerns from both parties that the equine will begin to suffer, resulting in an increase of 33% of equines signed over into our care this year.

Where we receive a report of horses or ponies abandoned on private land, advice is given to land and property owners so action can be taken via the implementation of the Control of Horses Act 2015.

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to hit hard, we have seen a change in the type of help needed by horse owners. Reports of cruelty and neglect are still received, however cries for help from horse owners and landowners trying to do the right thing are becoming more prevalent.

Ever considered a life of crime to make having horses more affordable?

Look no further, as the prices we sell our second hand items for are an absolute steal! 😂

We're live tomorrow from 12pm - 1pm!
