Rescue horses
For many years, we have dedicated our lives to rescuing horses in Mallorca.With little legislative protection for animals in Spain and with none of the large animal welfare charities such those in the UK, the horses we take in are often in a terrible state. Some have been abused or neglected. Many have been kept in appalling conditions.
We buy them from their owners and then our work begins. First, we nurse them back to health then Lorenzo, a horse whisperer and bare hoof specialist, starts to rebuild their confidence and train them to take riders. Within a few months the horses are unrecognisable from the sad creatures who first arrive here. They live in a herd outside, bare hoofed and are ridden bitless because we want to make the riding experience as natural as possible.
Each horse has a story.Take Banderin, a black Andalusian.We rescued him from a dark stable where he was starving and frightened.Or Rupert…he was regularly beaten by his owner and had lost his trust in people.Thanks to Lorenzo’s care, he is now a firm favourite with riders at Hipica Formentor.
Our work is vital – there are many horses in need on Majorca.Every week we receive phone calls about another neglected or abandoned horse but rescuing them is expensive and we are struggling financially to care for the horses we already have.
Please help us to help Mallorca’s horses in need!
Thank you!
Lorenzo, Christiane and Courtney Crespi

Dear Lorenzo & Team,
Many thanks for giving us such fun each and every time that we went out riding with you. We loved the horses and the very relaxed atmosphere that you and your team created for all of us who were riding.
Good luck,
Nikki & Olivia.
