Time and Space Equine Education Sanctuary

WHO ARE WE?

Time and Space Equine Education Sanctuary was founded by Clare Wilbraham. It is a small, registered association in Spain looking after a herd of six horses on site, and others off site at various times.

We rely on help from animal lovers so that our project can grow. Some of our horses had been barefoot on the mountains all of their lives enjoying a natural existence, while others have arrived from sad situations to improved conditions and care for the rest of their days.

In 2016, we were forced to move the horses from their mountain home and since then have been working on improving the new pasture and facilities for both horse and human. We and the herd rely heavily on contributions of both labour and funds from kind animal-lovers.

We have developed volunteer programmes which allow people to come here to meet our herd and help us to care for them, or the land around them. Our volunteers often find that learning to respond to each horse's particular needs aids their own self - development.

WHAT DO WE DO?

Our work as an organisation covers four main areas. Our two volunteer programmes; force-free training and handling both taught and practiced; education and support in the wider community; and creating a sustainable and stimulating environment for humans and for our six horses.
