OBITUARY Alan Perry 1948 - 2021

TONY BRYANT

The expat community of the Costa del Sol was saddened by the news of the death of Alan Perry, the co- founder of the SEARCH horse sanctuary, who has died at the age of 73. Alan became ill with cancer in March and succumbed to the disease last week. Together with Sue Barns, his wife of 40 years, Alan was re- nowned for rescuing, rehabilitat- ing and rehoming abandoned and abused horses at the couple’s farm in Coín. Born in Dorking in 1948, Alan ran a wholesale fashion business with his wife prior to coming to Spain. A passionate animal lover, he intended to retire on arriving on the Costa del Sol, but the cou- ple soon realised there was a need for a sanctuary for mistreated horses, and began converting their farmhouse into a rehabili- tation and training centre. Sue told SUR in English, “Alan dedicated his heart and soul to the welfare of horses.” “He was a passionate lover of animals and he dedicated so much of his time to helping the horses. He was involved with every aspect of the centre, from the construction and installation of the facilities, to the day-to-day running of the charity. He will be greatly missed,” Sue said. Alan’s ashes have been scat- tered in the grounds of the sanc- tuary, where a palm tree that was donated by a friend has been planted in his memory.
