Horse PresenceHome

8 experiences in Ibiza.

Observe

We are feeling, watching, hearing — observing ourselves while watching the horse. We can share what we feel with the facilitator. We can stay quiet, or write on paper. We can also paint, if it is easier for us to express our state in this way.

Grazing

This experience is for 2 to 6 adults. Not everybody has to walk with the horse; that part of the experience is only for strong, healthy people. If we are a couple, we can both hold the line in the field, feeling at the same time the connection with the horse.

There are a few safety and leading rules, so once there we enjoy being in the nature. No phone, no private stories — being here and now in the company of humans and horses.

Walk

You move together. The point isn't to get somewhere. It's to notice rhythm, distance, direction and negotiation.

Horses often fall into rhythm with whoever walks beside them. You can tap a foot, and they adjust. That shared tempo becomes a kind of conversation.

But it's not only about being calm or relaxed. It's about leading with clarity. That's what allows the horse to follow willingly. You're not pulling them, you're not pushing them. You're showing a path and staying aware, moment to moment.

If the line tightens, you adjust. A small movement of your hand, just enough to show the horse you're paying attention. That awareness keeps the partnership steady. It's a gentle, ongoing negotiation built on trust.

Mute constellation

A Mute constellation is an exercise in being with the horses while bringing attention to something that is alive in your life: a difficulty, a conflict, an illness, a dilemma, or a choice you are facing.

The exercise begins with a conversation with the facilitator, where you can briefly name what is happening and what you are carrying with you. Then, in the presence of the horses, you take a moment to become quiet, perhaps through a short meditation, and allow yourself to simply be present.

From there, you observe the horses.

There is no instruction about what you should see or how you should interpret their behaviour. Instead, you allow the horses, your own body, your emotions, and whatever happens in the space to become part of the experience. Perhaps a horse approaches you. Perhaps another moves away. Perhaps one horse represents something familiar, while another seems to point to a possible direction or a sense of resolution.

You can interact with the horses in whatever way feels natural and meaningful to you. You may speak to them, make sounds, sing, move, or even express something loudly. The word mute refers to the facilitator: during the constellation, the facilitator does not speak or guide you toward an interpretation.

This creates a space where you can listen differently.

You are not being told what the horses mean. You are invited to notice what you experience with them and what connections arise within you.

Sometimes, the horses may seem to reflect something about the situation you brought with you. They may draw your attention to a feeling, a relationship, a choice, or a possibility that you had not noticed before.

The horses don't provide a ready-made answer. Instead, they can help you see, feel, and experience your own story from another perspective.

And sometimes, that new perspective is enough to begin opening a way forward.

Work

Join the ordinary work of the place: feeding, fencing, water, land. Nothing is performed for you. The horses carry on as they would anyway, and you are part of the day rather than a visitor to it.

Create

Draw, write, film, photograph, play music, or create something else while the horses go about their day. The horses don't have to be a subject, but they can be a powerful inspiration.

Rest

Sleep, read, or do nothing at all. Horses rest in company, standing or lying down, while another keeps watch. You are welcome to do the same.

Care

Looking after something living, for as long as it wants to be looked after. A horse: brushing, water, a hoof checked, noticing what has changed since yesterday. A person who came with you. Or yourself, which is often the hardest of the three. Offered, never imposed. The forms this takes will be described as they take shape.

Before you come

Horses read faces and moods, and they notice smell. They cannot see your feet, but they feel your steps. So before you come:

  • No perfume, no make-up, no sunglasses.
  • No hat, if you can.
  • Wear clothes you can sit in, lie on the ground in, or climb a tree in.
  • Sports shoes. Sometimes we take them off, and feel the ground as the horses do.

Frequent questionsAgree a date with us

Sovereignty

The horse does not provide presence. Being with a horse can reveal what presence asks of us.

A horse that walks away has chosen not to participate. It has done what it is free to do, and that freedom is the foundation of everything we do here.

You are independent of the horse. If it does not take part, you are still experiencing presence: the place, the weather, the herd at a distance, your own attention. Nothing was withheld from you.

Your story

We are interested in what you experienced.

Tell it in your own way, with whatever words come to you.

If afterwards you think it might be worth something to another person, we may ask whether you want to share it.

Welcome.

Five years

Our goal is to spread awareness of the value of the horse.

We are giving ourselves five years. The count starts on 1 November 2026.

At the beginning we will need the most support, because at the moment we have no economic backing.
