53: Sue Weeding, Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre: Keeping the Faith along the Spanish Coast

Sue and Rod Weeding founded the Easy Horse Care Rescue Center after they left Norwich, England sixteen years ago to enjoy retirement at their finca in Alicante, Spain on the Costa Blanca.

Six months into retirement - life interrupted! Sue and Rod initially rescued two horses, and in the following sixteen years, they have saved over a hundred animals - mainly horses, ponies, and donkeys, along with a sizable number of dogs, cats, birds, one pig, and a peacock. In addition to the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, they run the Easy Horse Care Equestrian Store and several Charity Shops to support the Centre financially.
