HAPPA’s amazing work at Shores Hey Farm in Burnley includes saving the "Gisburn 16", a group of 16 racehorses found emaciated on a farm in Newsholme in 1997. Their owner was later jailed for animal cruelty.
The sanctuary was also home to Charlie, who made headlines as the "Biggest Shire Horse in Britain" in 1998.
Here are 13 lovely old photos of the charity over the past five decades, including some of its cute rescues:
