When the love for nature embraces the passion for horses

Love for horses

In our work we always put the psychophysical well-being of horses first, the love and respect towards them, trying to create a positive and trusting relationship between man and animal.


The experience

We have been working in the natural horsemanship sector for over 40 years, and have always been a point of reference in Italy. We try to bring the natural approach to the horse in various competitive disciplines such as dressage and show jumping.


The passion

The intense passion for our work, the dedication and professionalism we put into it and the love for horses, make our business one of a kind.

THE HORSE ACCORDING TO US

I'm not a machine.

I am not a tool.

I'm not an entertainer.

I am not a therapist.

I am a horse.


I have emotions.

I feel the pain.

I feel the joy.

I feel fear, anxiety, anger, terror.

I feel the happiness, the affection, the calm.

I feel the excitement, the enthusiasm, the curiosity.

I am a horse.


I am able to express myself, confidence, self-determination.

I'm athletic.

I am brave.

I'm playful.


I am capable of unimaginable beauty.

And of unimaginable depth.

And of unimaginable pain.


I helped build your current world.

Helped you collect your food.

Helped push your carts.


I have fought your wars.


I'm not here to serve you.

I'm not here to win your medals.

I am a horse.


I sacrificed myself for your country.


I was sacrificed for the pleasure of the gamblers.


I was put in solitary confinement… kept in a box, behind bars.

I have been whipped. Kicked. Forced to submit my body to human pleasure, without consent.


It's not too late to change all this.

But only you have the power to make a difference, because I am helpless in the face of human whims.


This starts with seeing me. Really “seeing” me.

Like a horse.

As someone who deserves love, respect, dignity NOT for what I can do for you, but for who I am.
