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!

disadvantages as the grass kept horse or pony may require greater preparation
for riding particulary if wet and muddy.

also needed of the field. The maintenance and management of the field is an
