The Horses and Ponies
Protection Association is one of the oldest and most respected Charities for
equine welfare. HAPPA was founded in 1937 to help fight against the
transportation of large horses to the continent for slaughter.
However
complaints of horses
ponies and donkeys being ill treated
starved and
abused were reported to the Association
and since then we have investigated
many thousands of complaints.
1997 saw this Association
(HAPPA) celebrating its Sixtieth Anniversary. 1997 also saw the saving of 16
racehorses! One would think this could never happen. But it did! It took HAPPA
staff from the Shores Hey Rescue Centre hours to save them from the squalid
conditions they were living in.
These once proud
now
emaciated horsess were standing 3ft deep in their own manure
they were crawling
with lice and covered with open sores. HAPPA staff also found the dead body of
another horse rotting among them under a pile of pallets!

Pony Care
Ponies
like horses
eat grains and hay and grass
and
especially enjoy a carrot or a sugar cube for a treat when they’ve been very
good! Ponies need plenty of fresh water and a clean
dry place to sleep at
night
and protection from the weather. Some ponies prefer standing outside
rather than being in a stall or a shed
but it’s important that shelter be
available for them if they need to get out of the cold wind in the winter or the
hot sun in the summer.
HEALTH CARE:
Ponies
like all horses
need regular health care. They need
certain vaccinations every year to protect them against diseases like Eastern
Equine Encephalomyelitis (you can call it "EEE")
rabies
and respiratory
diseases. They also need to be given medicine about every 8 weeks to control
internal parasites
such as worms. There are even dentists and chiropractors for
horses and ponies. Hoof care is very important. A farrier should clip and shape
a pony’s hooves every 8 to 12 weeks
depending on how much it is ridden and how
quickly its hooves grow. Cleaning a pony’s hooves to get rid of mud
manure
and
any stones or sharp objects should be a regular part of daily grooming.
