WITNESSES
Your experience matters.
Your voice can help carry this work into the world.
Sharing your experience is one of the most important ways to support Horse Presence.
This work expands through the experiences, observations, and contributions of people who recognise the value of simply being with horses.
Every story shows that this value is real, and that it is felt all over the world.
Please share what you feel when you are present with a horse, and what influence the presence of horses has on your life.
Where the stories come from
Every story becomes a dot on this map.
Every Horse Presence place a pulsing light.
Every herd of wild horses a diamond, pulsing where they are protected or rewilded.

Worldwide testimonials
A worldwide collection of voices
Horse Presence also opens this enquiry to the wider world.
We want to gather and share experiences from people and places beyond Ibiza—from anyone who has encountered the presence of horses in their own life and wishes to contribute their story.
By bringing these voices together, we hope to make the value of horse presence more visible, deepen our understanding of its influence on human beings, and help others discover the possibility for themselves.
And there is a reason for doing this.
We want to help keep horses in the world.
We want to help create a world in which horses can continue to live, not only because of what they can do for us, but because their presence can be part of human life in ways we are still learning to recognise.
Every experience shared, every story told, and every new place where people can encounter horses freely and respectfully can help us move toward that future.

The pilots
A pilot is a Horse Presence place, where horses live freely and people come to be with them.
Pilot 001, Our Home Can Tigres, is the model: a living-only place for horses.
Every new pilot receives the guidelines for the experiment. It offers the experiences, takes part in the research, and shares its results with us. Beyond that, each place is free to grow in its own way.
How to share
- What to send
- One experience, in your own words, voice or images. Tell us where it happened, so that it can find its place on the map.
- How to send it
- By email, as art, video, audio or writing. Writing can come with a photograph.
- People in the picture
- Everyone who can be recognised in your photo or video signs the consent form. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian signs.
- Groups
- Film from behind, so that no face can be recognised.
- How to sign
- We send you a short consent form by email. Each person signs it on paper and sends us a photograph of it, or replies “I agree” from their own email address.
