Noel, who was 15 years old on Christmas Day, is an absolute rock for all the other dogs, especially the nervous ones. He was recovering from ear surgery when he pulled out the drain and had to go back to the vets. It is only a 2 minute drive but seconds away from the Surgery, he began whimpering, howling and crying. SOMETHING WAS WRONG! On opening the boot, we saw he had got his foot and leg wedged down a small gap between the boot floor and spare tyre. A vet came out to help as it was twisted and well and truly stuck. The fear of his leg breaking was indescribable but


thankfully he was freed and unharmed. The Little Pod Association is a Registered Charity here in Spain. We are desperately needing a designated small van for transporting rescued animals to safety, vets visits, carrying food and supplies etc. The ancient private car that has been used has 243000 kms on the clock and has helped more than 1500 animals. It is now on its last legs (or should we say WHEELS!). As the above recent incident proved, it is not entirely suitable for purpose. We are asking animal lovers to please help us raise funds to buy a reliable vehicle. The Little Pod Squad is happy to attend any local fund-raising events. Of course, if any Chairman of Renault, Ford, Peugeot, VW or Citroen happens to be reading this, we would be thrilled to hear from you. Please donate to:- PayPal at littlepodassoc@yahoo.co.uk or visit their Facebook page ‘Little Pod Association’ for more information. Thank you so much.


First equine Shiatsu course held in Spain will help raise money for abused and neglected horses


Qualified instructors will fly in from Finland this March to lead a two-day introductory equine Shiatsu course – the first


of its kind in Spain – at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, near Alicante. Instructor Susanna Tuisku, assisted by Rita Uotila and Anne Hakala, will guide participants through how to relax a horse and maintain its health using the centuries-old wisdom of Shiatsu. Conducted in English, the course will teach basic equine Shiatsu concepts, including how energy flows through defined channels of a horse’s body, how to treat the bladder and kidney meridians and how Shiatsu can be used daily with horses. Previous Shiatsu experience is not needed. The course will be held on 11th and 12th March from 10am to 6pm. Just 15 tickets are available at €100 each, which includes hands-on practice with horses, printed materials to take home, a light lunch on both days and coffee. Participants can reserve their place by paying a €25 registration fee online, with the remaining €75 to be paid on commencement of the course. Purchase tickets at: easyhorsecare.net/shops/online- shop/programs-courses/equine-shiatsu-intro-course. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre’s more than 100 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, the centre opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.
