Description
Our farm is the rehabilitation center of our organization that works for the welfare of horses. At the end of October 2024, we relocated our farm from Kaş, Antalya to our new location, and we are rebuilding everything from scratch while living with the horses and donkeys we have rescued.
Since we don't have any staff and we enjoy meeting people from different cultures, we welcome volunteers. We learn a lot from our volunteers and have a great time together.
Since 2020, I have been rescuing neglected and abandoned horses and donkeys, providing them with a safe and loving home. I have rescued 27 animals in total. However, in 2025, I decided to stop individual rescues and instead focus on larger projects and initiatives that can improve the lives of more animals. This decision came after an emotional, physical, and financial breakdown.
Now, I live with 16 horses and am training some of them to become therapy horses, as my goal is to turn our farm into a center that offers equine-assisted therapy in the future.
There’s always something to do on the farm: preparing the ground for new saplings (because horses have no mercy for anything green), tending the vegetable garden, feeding the horses and donkeys, preparing food for the cats and dogs, and working on various construction tasks. But when we do it all together, it becomes more enjoyable and much easier
This is a vegetarian place. We have animals that have been saved from slaughter, and the idea of eating meat is heartbreaking. We expect understanding in this regard, we do not accept meat products to the farm.
I don't smoke and smoking is not allowed inside the farm. Thank you for your understanding.
