Registered Charity No: 1085211 (England & Wales).

HAPPA have been saving equine lives since 1937 and strive to give a Second Chance to abused, neglected and unwanted equines through Rescue, Rehabilitation, Rehoming and Education.

Our vision is to make sure horses, ponies, donkeys and their hybrids that have suffered cruelty or neglect are offered a second chance by being rehomed to private homes, ensuring these homes have the necessary knowledge and experience to ensure the equine’s welfare will not be comprised during the rest of its lifetime.

Our Main Beliefs:

  1. Every rescued equine deserves a Second Chance in a Forever Home.

  2. Every equine deserves a quality lifetime instead of the main focus being longevity of life.

  3. Every equine has a purpose – rideable or companion. They all have a place in society.

  4. Education and support will help to improve standards of equine care.

Remembering HAPPA when making your will is one of the most generous and long-lasting acts you will ever perform. Without legacies we could not continue our vital work and abused, neglected and abandoned equines would no longer have the opportunity to experience a second chance in a loving home. Legacy income is vitally important to HAPPA, it provides over 80% of our annual income to carry out equine welfare work and we are truly grateful to everyone who chooses to remember our work at the time of writing their will. Remember, you are never too young to make a will and, most important of all, a bequest to HAPPA does not mean it has to be your total value of your estate. A modest donation to us can make all the difference and can help HAPPA save lives.
