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!
