Do You Have A True Pioneer Spirit? - If so, then why not buddy up for a while with Ray Murray and his associates in Almería, Andalucía, Spain to help establish any one, or all, of the following:

• The first Equine Sanctuary in the whole of Almería province;
• The only formal Riding For The Disabled facility in Almería province;
• A new European Centre for Natural Horsemanship;
• A new “Spaghetti Western” and “Rural Spain” themed horse-trekking business, (short, medium and long-distance) whose purpose will be to help create and sustain all the above…plus
• Other Equestrian Enterprises that will also support the charitable and social enterprises of Horse World Spain.

Horse World Spain - All of these ventures, viewed as a whole, will be known as Horse World Spain. As well as benefiting the horses, donkeys and mules of this region, and creating much needed social facilities, this ethical business development project will also help create new job opportunities, both for local people and internationally.


More Than A Normal Holiday – You may have heard of VSO (Voluntary Services Overseas) or perhaps Earthwatch, which specialise in providing experiences, rather than merely holidays, where the clients attending do have free time in order to vacation, but they also use their skills and know-how to help projects that aim to do something to help make this world a better place. Well, Horse World Spain experiences and holidays will be rather like that, except that Horse World Spain will offer both equestrian holidays and value-adding experiences to people.


For Trail-Blazers and Trail-Riders - Once this is all properly established, some horse-lovers will come just to enjoy a riding holiday and have a great vacation. Others, however, will pay to come to design new trails, help with the marketing material, come up with ways of improving the whole thing and so on… and of course they can still go riding in stunning countryside, in or near the only desert in Europe.


For The Love Of Life and Horses – Horse World Spain is still an embryo, but you can be part of helping it to be safely born and nurtured to maturity, until it becomes a self-sustaining Ethical Business, which happens to have, at its heart, a focus on adding value to the life of local equines and the economy of the area (areas) in which it operates.


The Horse World Spain Team – Horse World Spain is being established by a small core team of compassionate and dedicated horse lovers and ethical business development facilitators, based in Almería, the UK and the USA, but the general idea is that this organisation is created, enabled to grow “organically” and, once formally established, thereafter run and developed by a community of people, some of whom may well live nowhere near Spain.


Pioneers Wanted! – Ray and the team are looking for experienced, responsible and caring people to help co-create and sustainably develop all aspects of Horse World Spain – with a special focus on establishing the Equine Sanctuary and Riding For The Disabled facility, plus Natural Horsemanship Centre here in Almería.


Things are developing quite quickly with this project, and we are currently updating the “provisional” Horse World Spain website, so please feel free to make any suggestions regarding what you would like to see on the new site.
