Last week we were made aware of a horse in a local village near Odemira in Alentejo suffering from a serious eye condition. After visiting the horse together with our veterinarian it became clear that this is not an acute injury, but a complex medical problem that has developed over a long period of time and now requires specialised treatment in a hospital environment.

Unfortunately, this is not a condition that can be adequately treated in the field. Without surgical intervention and proper aftercare the horse’s welfare and long-term comfort are at risk.

After several conversations, we understood all mitigating circumstances. The owner agreed that the best option for the horse was to allow us to step in and take over responsibility, so that he can be transported to a hospital and receive the treatment he urgently needs.

We would like to thank the owner for his cooperation and for trusting us with this decision, and our veterinarian for working closely with us throughout this process. These situations are never easy, and choosing what is best for an animal sometimes means accepting help when the options have become limited.

The next step is hospitalisation, surgery, and ongoing aftercare and this is where we now need to ask for your support. The costs for diagnostics, surgery, hospital stay, and recovery are significant. If you are able to help, any donation will go directly towards giving this horse the care he urgently needs. The estimated cost is around €2,500 including the after-care.

Beautiful words ❤️

A letter from your rescue horse...

If I could write you a letter,
this is what I’d say—

Thank you
for seeing something in me
when the world had stopped looking.

Thank you
for choosing me
when I was thin,
frightened,
untrusting,
and carrying stories
I didn’t know how to tell.

You didn’t turn away
from the scars on my body
or the fear in my eyes.
You didn’t judge the way I flinched,
or how long it took me
to understand your gentle hands.

You just showed up—
patient, soft, consistent—
and let me learn
what safety feels like.

Thank you
for the food,
the clean water,
the shelter,
the kind words spoken
even when I didn’t yet know
how to deserve them.

Thank you
for understanding
that healing takes time…
and that trust is something
a horse can only offer
after their heart remembers
what kindness feels like.

You celebrated my small victories—
the first time I didn’t pull away,
the first time I walked toward you,
the first time I let my head rest
in the space between your shoulder and neck
and felt… peace.

With you,
I learned that hands
can offer comfort,
not harm.
That voices
can soothe,
not threaten.
That humans
can love,
not leave.

I want you to know
I notice you.
I see the time you spend,
the money you sacrifice,
the care you put into every detail
of my new life.

I feel it
in every stroke of the brush,
every softly spoken word,
every quiet moment
where you let me simply exist
without fear.

I am not the horse I used to be.
Because of you,
I am becoming someone new—
someone braver,
stronger,
more trusting,
more whole.

You didn’t just rescue my body.
You rescued my spirit.
And if I could say only one thing,
it would be this:

I am grateful for you.
More than you’ll ever know.
And I will spend the rest of my life
trying to show you
what your love has done for me.

With all that I am,
and all that you’ve helped me become—
thank you.

Have you rescued a horse?

Due to a complicated situation with the owner, five Garranos urgently need temporary or ideally permanent rehoming. They are located in the Sintra area.

These stallions, aged 5–12, are generally healthy. They are full brothers and have never left the paddock where they were bred. They are friendly but still quite feral.

They can be rehomed together or separately, but as they are used to living in a herd, priority will go to homes with other horses.

All have correct paperwork and are microchipped.

This situation is urgent. If you can help find a practical solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Help with transport may be possible.

All offers of help will be considered, but you must be legally able and capable of keeping one or more of these horses.

We’re Looking for Experienced Helpers/ Volunteers! 🐴💛

We’re looking for a few kind, experienced horse lovers to spend some regular quality time with our rescue animals: ponies, horses, and donkeys who are still learning that people can be trusted.

Your visit could include:

🐴 Giving them a brush

🐴 Cleaning their hooves

🐴 Taking them for a short, calm stroll

🐴 Simply being a patient, reassuring presence

These animals haven’t had the easiest past, and many are still rebuilding trust. That’s why we’re looking for volunteers with confident hands who understand how to work calmly and respectfully with sensitive animals.

If you’d like to help them feel safe, cared for, and connected again please contact us.

We will organise an introduction day where you will meet us and the animals, and we can show you how our rescue works.

Location: Equus Ourique

Contact: Private message or via WhatsApp on +351 913 259 352. We’d love to hear from you!

Thank You for Your Support 🙏

A few days ago, we shared a request on behalf of another organisation that was in urgent need of assistance with their horses, both in the stables and in training. Thanks to your prompt and generous response, the message was quickly shared and circulated, allowing us to provide the necessary support without delay.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who took the time to share the post, reach out, or offer help. Your willingness to act swiftly demonstrates the strength and reliability of our wider horse community.✨

We are truly grateful for your continued support and for standing together when it matters most.

Helping Hands Needed in the Sintra Area

An organisation with a local stable in the Sintra region is desperately in need of support. The situation is quite dire, and they urgently require people who can spare some time to help with general stable tasks and care and training for the horses. Any help, even a small amount, would make a meaningful difference right now.
Halters and lead ropes are also needed. 

Due to the sensitivity of the case, we cannot share details publicly. However, if you are willing to assist, please contact us directly and we will provide all the necessary information.

Your support at this moment is truly appreciated. 🙏

Yesterday we rescued a horse but we want to explain something important.

When members of the public see a horse, donkey, or other animal that is malnourished, injured, or clearly unwell, it’s natural to think that we can simply go there, treat the animal, and take it to safety.

Unfortunately, it’s almost never that simple.

We cannot take an animal from someone else’s property without the owner’s permission. First, we need to identify the owner. This can often be a long and difficult process. Then we must wait until the owner is present and have a conversation about the animal’s condition.

From there, we work to convince the owner to surrender the animal so we can provide proper care. This can take months, sometimes even years, and many cases never reach a resolution.

Yesterday’s rescue was the result of months of patient work, persistence, and cooperation, and we are deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers King who first alerted us, and
Lloyd, whose unwavering commitment, daily care, and constant follow-up made this rescue possible.

We offered the owner help, and in the end they agreed that it was best for Maya to come to us so she could receive the care she needed 🤗✨

Please support us with a monthly donation of €5, €10, €20, €50 or more so we can continue caring for the animals who need our help, and reach those who urgently rely on our support 🙏
