Equines – Santuario de Animales – La Candela

Verónica

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:02:49 +0000

Verónica was rescued from the Almería kennel through the Red Footprint association. It has a smaller size than the rest of the horses because it is a mix of horse and pony.

But her size does not make her special, she is one more integrated in the entire herd of horses that live with other donkeys and cows.

Vicente

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:02:04 +0000

Vicente comes from the Santuario de la Pepa together with the blonde from Légolas because they could not treat them as they deserved. He did so without castrating and with a temperament that we had rarely seen. A true pirate.

The years, the castration, the hierarchy of the pack… have made our wild child little by little become more and more our friend.

For us, respecting their characters and personalities is extremely important in order to provide them with what they need.

Carmen

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:00:59 +0000

Carmen is a very old mare that we rescued in 2016 from the kennel in Seville.

She arrived pregnant where she gave birth to a beautiful foal named Luca. She requires special care due to her age.

He lives with Humi separately from the rest of the horses because they are too competitive for them.

Rayo

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 21:00:00 +0000

Rayo is the son of precious India.

He was born free and never knew the horrors of his mother’s past. His mother, India, was rescued along with Boy and Reina when they gave us the notice because they were left tied up on the road without water or food.

Taking care of them and getting them to be well is hard work, we don’t always have the same help but we leave our lives for them.

Humilde

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:59:17 +0000

He was rescued before being sacrificed in the place where he was born, the reason was none other than his special face: an aesthetic aspect that if not taken care of can cause serious consequences for growth, even death.

From time to time we carry out x-rays to control the state of his bones, which until approximately 4 years of age will not stop moving in an unusual way: his mouth has very special care as well as the review of his respiratory system that could also be affected without constant clinical control.

He is a happy being, an innocent child who enjoys the company of the volunteers and the rest of the pack, who have accepted him as one more.

India

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:55:06 +0000

Their life is free and is protected by all of us, who will never give up our fight for them.

Like human children, the first years of life of the fillies are summed up to the most basic practical learning and the creation of the personality bases that will define their survival and the role that they will later develop within the herd.

India is the boss and her pretty little girl already occupies a very important place for everyone: they take care of her and love her in common, they take care of her and stimulate her like a big family of uncles, cousins and brothers.

Hade

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:54:18 +0000

Hade is one of the few inhabitants who have been lucky enough to be born in the sanctuary, the little girl has been bottle-fed with us since she was born. When Ceniza, her mother, was rescued she was pregnant with little Hade.

The stress of the trip caused Ceniza to give birth early, thus giving birth to Hade prematurely on February 29, 2016.

Shakty

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:53:36 +0000

Shakty is the daughter of India, a very wild and intelligent filly of a couple of years old, she loves being with the herd but she does not have a special affection for the human species.

We love seeing her wild and free, seeing her be a respected mare who also lives surrounded by a family of equals:

for us this is being a horse, their tremendous temperament and intelligence, they are not servants of humans, you just have to know them a little to realize it.

Oporto

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:52:52 +0000

Porto was rescued from the Badajoz Noé Syndrome case. He had been sold by street vendors to a man in Badajoz who suffered from Noé syndrome.

When this man died, all his animals were abandoned; Despite the fact that the conditions where they had been living were not acceptable, people with this disease are unable to see it and really process a great love for their animals.

Oporto arrived at La Candela with four dogs that were given up for adoption once they recovered.

He and Rafael became very good friends very quickly, and spend the day together under Ceniza’s watchful eye.

Ceniza

MadAdp2 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 20:51:54 +0000

Ceniza was rescued pregnant with the precious Hade.

We love to share images of the peace and tranquility that the inhabitants of the Sanctuary breathe. Oporto, Rafael and Ceniza are three of the Donkeys who, after experiencing terrible situations, have found a family and a new home full of respect.
