Our project goal is to improve lives of many horses both within the sanctuary and outside through awareness and fundraising.

Some of our horses have been living freely and barefoot on the mountains all of their lives enjoying life as nature intended and others have arrived from sad situations to improve their life and care for the rest of their days. The ridden team take customers out on trail rides to help support the rest of the herd and we regularly enjoy hosting workshops and working students to support the herd and work on their own self –development whilst responding to each horses’ particular needs.
After the need for a sudden move due to the horses losing their long-term home we are now working on improving the new pasture and facilities for both horse and human and rely on help from kind animal-lovers.
Please get in touch to see how you can get involved.

The Sanctuary
Sanctuary owner, Clare, comes from a traditional English riding background. She arrived in Spain in 2010 to work with a free-roaming herd who taught her a completely new way of relating to horses. At the same time, she was deeply moved by the plight of many of the horses and horsemanship practices. She saw horses hobbled, confined in tiny dirty stables all day, every day, and ridden in the extremely harsh serraton bridle. These two extremes represented the very best and worst of horse management and inspired the project. The sanctuary is in its infancy having moved to new premises in February 2016. There is a lot of work to do and your help is important to get this exciting project off the ground.

Our Aim
• Inspire horse lovers and owners through open days, working student, project partnership programs and workshops
• To train our herd as naturally and with as much understanding as possible progressing each horse within his needs and individual character
• Promote good horse care by creating an enriched environment for our own herd
• Raise awareness of the requirements for a happy, healthy, emotionally and physically well-balanced horse.
• Be in a position to work with owners and their horses to explore and share knowledge of horse behaviour and welfare.
