After all the interest in the horses we have been able to rescue & rehome to date, we are extremely pleased to announce the arrival of Equine Rescue France a newly registered not-for-profit association based in France. Our aims are to alleviate the suffering of equines that have been abandoned, mistreated or are destined for the abattoir through facilitating their rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing. Where we cannot act, we will inform the relevant authorities of equine mistreatment and, where possible, pursue justice. Furthermore, by supporting recognised organisations in other E.U countries we will campaign for improvements to existing legislation on transportation of live equines to ensure that they are protected from cruelty & neglect. We are extremely lucky to have a very motivated team of experts working with us to create 'ERF' so please visit our website www.equinerescuefrance.org where you can find out more
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me on here or alternatively contact us on our site.
Well done Morse and co. ! You have already achieved so much in such a short time, I can't believe all you have done, you are all so efficient. I shall be following your site with great interest and wish you all the very best of luck and great success to your association.

SAD NEWS!!!!!!!
I'm very sorry to have to say that the last three Comtois colts that we were trying to save left for Italy on Thursday!This was despite the fact there were homes and purchasers for them but in the end the owner didn't wait for the arrangements to be made for payment to be made and collection of the colts.These are the difficulties we have to face in France when dealing with some owners. If the meat lorry turns up prior to payment being made the horses are gone!!
Apparently they are in Turin now and will be slaughtered on Monday......where they are kept until that time is anyones guess.This is the very sad reality of the horse meat trade and why each and every horse that is saved from the whole traumatic experience that occurs BEFORE they get to die is so important to us.
Oh Morse, that's awful !
Terrible! I'll not sleep tonight..
But keep up the good work, Morse.
