For residents of Ibiza
Horse Presence begins with horses, but it also opens a space to discover different ways of relating to other living beings, to the places we inhabit, and to one another.
As a resident of Ibiza, you can become part of this exploration in your own way, whether by experiencing Horse Presence, contributing your knowledge or skills, bringing your own work into the presence of horses, or exploring a partnership that allows something new to emerge.
Explore the different ways to take part and discover where your path might meet ours.
Tell us a little about yourself, what draws you to Horse Presence, and what kind of involvement you have in mind. You don't need to know exactly where it will lead. We can begin with a conversation.
Experience Horse Presence
Horse Presence is a research and cultural project exploring the value of being in the presence of horses. We invite you to discover 8 different ways of experiencing this relationship, to explore what emerges for you, and, if you wish, to contribute to our ongoing research.
Discover the eight experiences and find your own way into Horse Presence.

Contribution
There are many ways to contribute to Horse Presence.
As a project within the Asociación Cultural y Ecológica INvisible IBIZA, Horse Presence grows through people who bring their ideas, creativity, sensitivity and care. If you feel a connection with what we are creating, we warmly invite you to become part of our community.
You can become a member of the association, help care for the horses and their surroundings, occasionally help with the experiences, or bring together people who would like to discover Horse Presence. You can also share our links and events, connect us with people who resonate with our work, or bring your own ideas, knowledge, skills, equipment and new perspectives.
Not every contribution needs a regular commitment. Sometimes a helping hand, a valuable contact or an idea at the right moment can make a real difference.
What matters to us is not only what you bring, but the spirit in which you bring it: openness, creativity, empathy toward animals and people, sensitivity, and care for ecology and Life.
You don't need to know exactly how you'd like to contribute. Explore Horse Presence, see what resonates with you, and get in touch.

Collaboration
Horse Presence welcomes people who feel connected to the presence of the horses and to the values of this project, and who would like to bring their own work into this special setting.
Perhaps they are massage therapists, bodyworkers, therapists, artists, or work in another profession that can build a meaningful connection with the presence of horses. Perhaps they can imagine offering their own sessions here, inviting clients into this space and giving them the chance to experience something special beyond the session itself.
It is not simply about bringing your work to another place. It is about becoming part of something you believe in. We welcome people who are inspired by Horse Presence, who respect the nature and freedom of the horses, and who would like to share this way of being with others.
As a collaborator, you become part of the larger project. Through your own work, your personal contacts and your own way of talking about it, you can help Horse Presence reach people who might otherwise never discover it.
Collaboration begins with a shared connection. We invite everyone who feels drawn to the project to get in touch, explore possibilities together and find out how their work could become part of Horse Presence.
The horses are not a technique.
They are not brought in, used, or asked to take part in anything. If a horse comes over, that was the horse's decision, not a feature of your session.
Membership of the Asociación Cultural y Ecológica INvisible IBIZA, within which Horse Presence exists as a project, is required. If this fits your work and the spirit of Horse Presence, we would be glad to hear from you.
Partners
Growing together through shared values
Horse Presence is open to connecting with people, associations, organisations, initiatives, and projects that share an appreciation for nature, animals, and more conscious ways of relating to the world around us.
We believe that meaningful connections can grow into beautiful things. Sometimes, it begins with a conversation, an exchange of ideas, or simply discovering that we share a similar vision. From there, new possibilities can emerge: supporting one another’s initiatives, creating something together, sharing experiences, or opening doors to new ways of working and connecting.
We are interested in partnerships that grow naturally from shared values, curiosity, and a genuine desire to contribute. It is about mutual inspiration, collaboration, and the possibility of creating something meaningful together.
Whether you represent an association, an organisation, a local initiative, or an independent project, we would love to hear from you if you feel connected to the spirit of Horse Presence.
If you feel that our paths might have something to share, get in touch. We are open to discovering what we could create together.
Creating new places
Nothing here needs to begin with a finished place. It can begin with one part of one: a field standing empty, a horse whose life could be arranged differently, a herd that already lives freely or semi-freely.
Whoever wants to explore or work on a new place, or simply has an idea, is welcome.
I have land
Horses may already live there. Or they could. Or it could be part of something larger.
I have horses
What happens when their life becomes the starting point, rather than what they can do?
I want to make a place
Not necessarily now, not necessarily alone, and not necessarily the way we currently imagine it. The model is still being found.
Winter
Winter at Horse Presence — a season to reconnect
Winter at Horse Presence is not a quiet season. In many ways, it is one of the most beautiful times to come and spend time with the horses.
With less intense sunshine and fewer flies, the horses are generally more comfortable. The landscape becomes greener, offering more natural grazing, and the cooler temperatures make it easier for both horses and people to enjoy being outdoors.
During the summer, the heat means that we need to reduce certain activities and adapt our time with the horses to the weather. In winter, we can open up the full range of experiences and enjoy being together in a different way.
For many people living on Ibiza, summer is the busiest time of the year. Work, visitors, and the rhythm of the island can leave little room to slow down. Winter often brings more space to breathe, reconnect with nature, and spend time doing something that feels meaningful.
That is why we especially invite Ibiza residents to discover Horse Presence during the winter months. Come and meet the horses, spend time with them, explore our experiences, or simply enjoy being in their presence.
Our eight experiences — Work, Care, Rest, Create, Walk, Grazing, Observe, and Mute constellation — offer different ways of connecting with horses, each with its own rhythm and character.
Work and Care are not simply opportunities to help us with tasks or provide free labour. They are experiences in themselves: opportunities to learn, become more aware, develop a relationship with the horses, and contribute to their well-being while receiving something meaningful in return.
Winter is an invitation to slow down, be present, and rediscover the pleasure of connecting with nature and animals.
The horses are here throughout the year. Perhaps winter is the perfect time for you to come and meet them.
Humans who love horses without needing to possess them. Who are close without controlling. And value observation without interfering. Horse Presence Keepers who protect without taking away horses' freedom to be themselves.
Make room for Horses.
