IBIZA/AIM
Could Ibiza become the first Island of Horse Presence?
Not a claim. A question the island could answer, one place at a time.
Our Home Can Tigresliving experiment 001
Horse Presence begins in Ibiza with the vision that a small spark can travel around the world.
Santuario Animal Can Tigres Ibiza,
where it all started.
Power of presence
Once we remain present, life becomes more than simply good or bad.
Seasons in Ibiza
Do you live here, or are you visiting?
I live here
Your island. Your chance to help create something meaningful for people, horses, and the world we share.
For residentsI'm visiting
A few days may be enough. One horse, one minute, one question you take home.
For visitors of IbizaThe dream map
The map does not exist yet.
One point does.

Not a map of where you can ride. Not a map of attractions. A map of places where horses live and nothing is asked of them.
Ibiza horses today
Ibiza already lives with horses, in many ways.
- Trotting races
- Tradition
- Riding
- Private ownership
Horse Presence does not propose to replace any of them. It proposes another layer: places where horses live with space and choice, and where people can meet them without asking them to perform.
Opportunity
- Horses
- More horses' lives saved. A better quality of life for older and untrained horses from the Balearic Islands.
- Land
- Grazing, manure returned to the soil, manure shared out among local ecological farmers. Wild, overgrown farmland and torrents cleared. Soil brought back to life: horses that graze grass and brush return carbon to the earth in their dung, along with seeds of native plants, humus and soil life. Together they rebuild and feed the soil, even where fire has burnt it. And by grazing the dry grass and brush, horses leave less fuel for fire.
- People
- Silent places for reflection, personal growth, nervous system regulation and time offline. Places of work and creativity. Mindfulness activities for groups of children, teenagers and elders.
- Culture
- New stories, awareness, documentation, art and knowledge. A new tradition.
- The island
- An Island of Horse Presence: a new and unique trend connected to nature, ecology, mental health, relaxation, alternative ways of living, responsible tourism and sustainability.
- Economy
- Small, local activity, through the whole year, not only the summer. Horse Presence tourism, merchandising, collaborations, and space for freelancers to work.
Possibilities, not promises. Each one can be measured, and our intention is to investigate each one.
Why Ibiza?
Something meaningful grow from what is already here.
Ibiza brings together people from different cultures, generations, and ways of life, creating connections that can inspire new perspectives.
The island is often described as a place of magic and transformation, with a community of determined people who live here year round, offering fertile ground for new ideas to take root.
While the island has challenges in meeting all the needs of horses, those limits don't stop new possibilities from emerging.
By sharing what we learn, we hope to inspire new ways of relating with horses and with the world around us.
This is the spark. From here, something bigger can grow.
A movement that encourages people to rethink their relationship with horses, and perhaps move toward a more conscious and harmonious way of living.
How places like Our Home Can Tigres can sustain themselves, through land, partnerships, funding and work with the island, is developed by the Asociación Cultural y Ecológica INvisible IBIZA, which stands behind the administrative and economic side of the model.
