Network of farms with soul
We are fortunate to have more and more PROPERTIES that altruistically, and because they are strongly aligned with the VALUES, VISION AND MISSION of the Foundation, give up their properties for horses to graze on.
WHAT IS OUR CONTRIBUTION THANKS TO THE REINTRODUCTION OF THESE LARGE HERBIVORES?
We contribute to creating a resilient and biodiverse landscape:
- Faced with the impact of theCLIMATE EMERGENCY.

WHAT AGREEMENT MODEL DO WE USE?
The CUSTODY AGREEMENT, with our commitment to ensuring the maintenance, management and conservation of your property.
Els HORSES They do almost all the work, having a surprisingly positive impact on the territories.
WHAT IS THE MANAGEMENT MODEL?
What best suits each farm:
- Process of RENATURALIZATION (horses propose and we favor their management) very suitable for large natural spaces and large estates. They require family groups of equines well adapted to life in freedom.
- Applicable to crop areas, meadows and smallholdings (management with more human intervention, rotations, direct sowing... Horses graze specific areas delimited according to pasture regeneration criteria). Very suitable for senior horses.
Both models can be combined on the same property to promote the creation of a mosaic landscape.
PEG zones (Areas defined as strategic for fire prevention).
HOW MANY HORSES DOES YOUR FARM NEED?
Each space asks a number of horses depending on the dimensions, climate, orography and resources (pasture and water), but also depending on the management and conservation objectives that are desired to be achieved.
Our expertise consists of determining and adjusting this number with field views and regular monitoring. We value cross-cutting welfare (horses and territory).
