Among the many news items from our Association this year, one of the most critical and difficult is the news of the transfer of the rescue centre. The property that has housed us over the past few years has been reclaimed by the owner, making this relocation imperative.

The hunt for a new home, which began some months ago, has brought us to a place within the same Comune, Montaione, which will be leased to us by a private owner. Its proximity to the present site will enable us to manage the complex operation of moving our animals with the minimum of stress to them. We are also still evaluating other options which may better answer the many and increasing needs of IHP, but for now we have to leave our current pastures and give the horses a home which meets their needs.

At this moment we ask, more than ever, for the help of our supporters and of all people who have the interests of horses and other equids at heart. IHP, in its first five years, has amply demonstrated its ability to help these animals, some of them rescued from truly desperate situations, and to offer them – at times in the face of enormous difficulties – a better future. But we know we are still only at the beginning and we are all too aware of the limitations of our resources.
The coming relocation will be a costly and complex operation, and challenging for our Association, but we would like to transform these huge difficulties into an opportunity for growth and improvement.

We are organising Work Weekends to fence the paddocks and build the structures we need, as well as fund-raising events (also at the local level). We have drawn up a list of the materials equipment and machinery we need and which we hope will be donated. And of course there is the very exacting task of moving the horses. Time is very short, the move has already started: please contribute in any way you can!
