El Acebuche Stables

And we have had two more days of storm life 🌧️⚡since my last post.
More rain is still on the way but we’ve been on it 💪 Clearing debris, keeping the outlets flowing, and making sure everything’s holding up despite the intense rain.
Horses are tucked up in the night paddocks with better shelter, dogs checked (even the ones not loving the thunder 🐶💔), and yes… we even got a large amount of hail stones.
Farm life doesn’t stop but we’ve got this. Stay safe everyone 🙏

Today we had Abigail Scarth Equine Osteopath here to work her magic on two of our liveries . And among them… the tiniest patient you could imagine.
Sunny a miniature horse (and full-time heart thief)loved and owned by Karina Beckx - Vanheumen had his very first session. Watching something so small be treated with the same care, focus, and respect as any grand horse was, honestly, a bit of a “cuteness overload” moment 🩷. Tiny hooves, big personality, and an expression that said, “I’m not entirely sure what’s happening, but I shall allow it.”
There’s something quietly beautiful about it all the idea that every creature, no matter their size, gets the attention and TLC they deserve. Whether tall, small, fluffy, or hooved, everyone matters here.
Safe to say, Sunny handled it like a pro… and may have gained a few extra admirers along the way. 💛

This morning we took two of our golden oldies out for a gentle stroll through the campo, soaking up the warm sunshine and the beauty of the countryside. Both horses are in their late 20s. These two aren’t rideable anymore but that doesn’t mean their days of adventure are over.
Step by step, we wandered together along quiet paths, stopping often (mostly their idea🤣) to nibble on fresh spring grass🍀. Bright red poppies dotted the fields and every now and then our pair would pause, ears forward, just taking it all in🩷. There’s something incredibly special about seeing them relaxed, curious, and content just being horses🐴🐴.
Moments like these are a gentle reminder that care doesn’t end when a horse’s ridden career does. They still deserve fresh air, new sights, and the simple joys of being out in nature. And honestly, walking alongside them, sharing that calm and connection, is just as rewarding for us.
Because here, every horse matters at every stage of life 🩷.
Until the next Campo walk

A lovely sunny welcome for our two new liveries as they met their neighbours for the first time today ☀️🐎
Calm introductions over the fence and plenty of curiosity all round. It’s great to see how relaxed they already are, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and settling in so well💕.
