What you'll do
We will go on a walk with 5 rescue horses. On this walk we will guide you into your own power by taking the horse on a lead. Walking with horses has everything to do with clear and gentle communication and we will help you to establish that. Horses are mirrors of the soul and they reflect your actual State of Being. For some, the reflection of the horse is a real eye opener and for some the walk is pure pleasure. But whatever the horses have in mind for you, you will leave here fulfilled and satisfied.
This experience is also very suitable for people who are/have been afraid for horses but would love to get (back) in touch with them.
After the (safety) introduction, we step into the field and you can choose the horse that attracts you most, or you will be chosen by a horse.
While walking, I might reflect on things that I notice in you while being with a horse. This can be an insightful experience. Most people leave here with a feeling of wellness, fulfilled and happy.
But the main thing is going for the walk in the beautiful hills around Barão de São João. Halfway the walk we take a little breakwhere you can sip some of your own brought drink before we head back.
I'll make sure that it will be an unforgettable experience.
Looking forward to walk with you and let you enjoy the magic of these five rescued horses.
Other things to note
We will be out in the open field so wear good shoes and trousers and bring a sweater for when it's windy, which it can be on the field.

Ever since I was a child I was dreaming of having a horse. I had to become 50 years to finally realize that dream. Soon I understood that 'dreaming' about a horse is totaaaally different than actually having one...
6 years ago, rescued from slaughter by a friend of mine, I walked 'Flame', my first horse, home for the first time. That was the moment the real adventure started. Being with Flame not only taught me lots about horses and how to take care of them, but my life changed profoundly.
More and more I became grounded in myself and dared to stand in my own power. Now, almost 6 years and 4 extra horses later, the horses made me into a horseman, and it feels like it has never been different.
I want to share my experience with you by taking you on an empowering walk with the 5 horses.

Where you'll be
State of Being; Horse sanctuary, is located just South of the picturesque village Barao de Sao Joao. The fields have great views of the village and the mountains Monchique and Foia in the distance. The walk takes us through backroads and a small track and we'll pass the Capela do Monte on a distance.
It was a very relaxing experience. Walking with the horse and NOT ON him/her was a magical moment. Plus the silence and the quiet of the place, and the special company of Sakshin and Charlotte. I enjoyed every second of the experience. I was feeling like out of the time. Hope to see you again next time I come to Portugal! Cheers from Milan!

Wonderful experience. Sakashin is so knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful with the horses. It was super interesting to understand how the horses pick up on our mind and react to our behavior on the most subtle level. The countryside is beautiful, the walk relaxed and fun. I highly re in end this experience.

What an enjoyable and interesting way to spend the afternoon! I loved getting to know the horses, all with different personalities and quirks. I learned the proper way to handle horses while having a lovely walk with Luciano, one of the babies. Just like a toddler in his terrible twos, he can be a handful but oh so entertaining! It's an inspiration how the lives of the horses have been transformed. I wish all animals could live in perfect peace and happiness like Sakshin's beautiful family of rescued horses.

We had an amazing time on our horse walk. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something different to do in the Algarve. Sahksin and Charlotte were lovely guides helping us understand and lead our horses on the walk, to guide them with calm confidence. It was a beautiful experience. I hope to do it again!

We hade a wonderful experience with Sakshin, Charlotte and the horses. It's a great way to learn more about yourself and also just a lovely walk in a beautiful place with the horses. You learn a lot about yourself and your style of communication walking with the horses. It really made me reflect on my style of leadership and I've learnt some valuable lessons that I'll take home. Thanks a lot, guys!

Sakshin and Charlotte have created something very special here and I am so grateful I booked the experience. Charlotte explained to me that being with a horse can be considered a type of meditation. One must be present and aware but maintain a sense of calm. My horse Flame saw through me immediately - someone who has trouble saying “no”! I can’t recommend this experience enough. Thanks so much Sakshin and Charlotte.
