Spring is arriving softly 🌿☀️
Longer days, warmer light, and a chance to begin again.

Out in the field, the horses remind us it’s okay to take things slowly, to ground ourselves, reset, and just be present.

Spend a special morning with Elsie & Zekie ✨

Behind the scenes of our shoot for spring collection 🌷

They were absolute stars from start to finish, calm, curious and completely themselves.
We’re so proud of how beautifully they represented Equilore 🐴💗

Amira is back at it again for Equilore! 💛

After completing a sponsored walk for us in January through freezing, frosty, soaking conditions.
She’s now taking on 100 miles throughout March on her bike!

We’re hoping this challenge brings her a little more sunshine this time ☀️🚴‍♀️

Every mile she pedals helps us continue our work supporting children and adults.

If you’d like to support Amira and cheer her on, you can donate via the link in our bio

Please give her some encouragement in the comments 💛🐴

January at Equilore ❄️
Snow, frost, and rain shaped the month, with busy days in the yard alongside the horses and our amazing volunteers.
Through it all we caught magical moments too, a rainbow, and a little sunshine that reminded us how bright the year ahead can be 🤍

CONGRATULATIONS to Amira, who completed her 50 miles of walking in January. This challenge saw her going out in the dark every night, in rain, snow and ice, even falling over once, but raising over £700 and still going!

EDIT: She reached her original target of £1000 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Amira started at Equilore because a challenging start in life meant she lost confidence in her abilities. Today she is out there approaching strangers to pack their shopping in return for a donation for Equilore.

Many thanks for the coopuk in Chipping Norton for supporting her amazing fundraising ideas and even putting some grant money in her bucket 🙏

Well done Amira and a special thanks to Zekie her favourite horse at Equilore 🤩

❤️🐴❤️

When the rain passed, a rainbow appeared over the yard.
Horses settled in the field and a gentle reminder that even after the storm, there’s still brightness to be found ❤️
