Rescued horses
We keep rescued horses and give them a second chance in life. They were in dire need after being abused and maltreated severely on the road by pulling carts. We help them to become a happy and healthy horse again in a natural as possible way. And to share our experience, we invite you to come and feel their magnificent beauty, strength and pure bliss for yourselves.
Being close to horses is an amazing experience
Join us for a short walk of 2 hour through the beautiful area of Barão de São João or step into real adventure with our 5 day retreats with horses @ holistic-horsewalk.pt
To learn thyself
The State of Being project started in 2014. Going back to a natural way of living. Close to, and with nature was the idea. To learn thyself. Within a month there was this 2,5-year young horse, Flame, that was rescued from slaughter.
Then came Maya, seriously skinny and who had just gave birth to a foal who didn’t make it due to her malnutrition. And then, mid 2019 came Divina, with her 5 week old son Luciano and the orphan foal Rocky of 3 weeks old. Divina was also abused in front of a cart and the scars on her body still show that. With Flame it started and with them, this journey of learning, falling, getting up and getting wise continues. …
Dwelling for a moment on how you feel inside goes well when you are walking. But it goes even deeper when there is a horse walking next to you.
At the moment there are seven horses on the land and the activities, like our daily 2 hour HorseWalks with guests, got enriched with the healings between and with the horses and the 5 day retreats here on the sanctuary. You can read all about it on our Holistic-Horsewalk.pt website, dedicated to the HorseWalks and the HorseJourneys.
