I
Rescue
We work alongside the Rural Police, the Public Prosecutor's Office and local neighbors to protect horses from abuse, abandonment, clandestine slaughter and forced labor.
It's not just rescuing a horse.
It's giving them back their name,
their body, their gaze,
the freedom that was stolen from them.
— And we do this every day, since 2014.
A group of Mendoza locals rescued China Duquesa, an overworked, malnourished and dehydrated cart-mare walking through the Unimev neighborhood in Guaymallén. That spontaneous rescue sparked everything.
A year later, we were legally established as an NGO. Thus was born the first and only equine protection organization in the province of Mendoza, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of horses that are victims of abuse, abandonment and clandestine slaughter.
In over ten years, we have rescued more than 500 horses. Today we feed over 70 horses at our sanctuary in Maipú, where they receive veterinary care, food, shelter, and a place to learn to trust again.
When a horse arrives, we give them a new name. It's a rebirth. They are never ridden or used for any activity again.
We work alongside the Rural Police, the Public Prosecutor's Office and local neighbors to protect horses from abuse, abandonment, clandestine slaughter and forced labor.
Veterinary care, specialized feeding, medication, surgeries. Recovery can take months or years, but we never abandon a treatment.
We seek responsible homes willing to take on the commitment. Serious adoption with follow-up. No use for work. No reselling.
PEMPA participated in the first effective convictions for animal cruelty in Mendoza. Equines declared sentient beings and subjects of law.
