Falabella
Comanche, at over 20 years old, remains active and playful, learning from Lola and always looking after her. Together, they are inseparable and protect each other.
Azteca
Dee is a natural warrior. Her story hasn't been easy, but she always gives her all, showing her immense heart. She loves banana leaves and is very responsive in natural horsemanship. Dee is initially shy, but once she feels safe, she reveals her charming personality. Under saddle, she requires a rider with precision and gentleness to earn her trust. Her friendship with Figo has given her courage to try new things, and day by day, she teaches us about bravery and resilience.
He is a true gentleman, always conducting himself with grace in any situation. Sensible and playful, this handsome and intelligent stallion teaches us to connect with our mischievous side. On the ground, he is expressive and playful, but under saddle, he transforms into an attentive and responsible horse. His progress in natural horsemanship excites us, and we are confident that his future will be bright.
Quarter Horse with Criollo
Coquito, previously a tour horse, has shown his potential at Shanti. He is a master with many children, forming close bonds and caring for them devotedly. Although he sometimes tires of being Caramelo's nanny, he loves working in Touch For Health and always enjoys a good stretch.
This sweet mare is like a hardworking little bee. She has been an exemplary teacher in dressage and jumping, showing that heart can triumph over mechanics. Her best friend is Figo, who has taught her a lot. Bonita helps people regulate their emotions, conveying wisdom and sensitivity.
Warlander
Titan is a young stallion full of energy. He loves playing with his ball or buckets, and his movements in freedom promise us a bright and fun future with him.
She is a diamond in the rough, a loyal companion to Caribeña and nanny to Caramelo. She adores playing with water and is a calm and secure mare. Her ancient wisdom is ready to be shared.
Azteca
Caramelo, the one-year-old foal, was born on Christmas and came to brighten our lives. Sociable and confident, this brave little one is sure to touch many hearts in the future.
Falabella
Our mini artist is a stallion who knows many tricks and enjoys mischief. His playful and charming personality always brings a smile to our faces.
Trakehner
He is the soul of our adventure at Shanti Farm. This noble 21-year-old horse, despite his age, remains incredibly handsome. He is an old and wise soul who has been a versatile master in classical dressage, jumping, and natural horsemanship, among other disciplines. Though retired, he remains the calm leader of the group, the confidant of many, and the eternal love of Bonita, with whom he spends hours exchanging affection. Figo has also been a great support to Dee, providing her with confidence and courage. His slightly greedy nature and refusal to share food only make him more endearing.
Pony
Valentín is the master of long reins and the children's trainer. This little artist loves eating apples and rolling after classes, teaching riding with good rhythm and stable contact.
Tuno is the gentle giant of Shanti. Always willing to give his all when asked properly, this secure and generous horse enjoys stretching and teaching riding with mindful connection. We feel fortunate to have him in our family.
Criollo
She is a special mare who prefers not to be ridden but excels in liberty work and coaching. With her big heart, she teaches us to play and connect with our inner child. Her sensitivity and affection are unmatched.
Criolla
Ella es una yegua especial que prefiere no ser montada, pero destaca en doma en libertad y coaching. Con su gran corazón, nos enseña a jugar y a conectar con nuestro niño interior. Su sensibilidad y cariño son inigualables.
Caribeña, our retired mare and mother of Caramelo, is a sweetheart of a horse. Greedy and patient, she found peace alongside Gitana. Meditating and connecting with her during retreats is a healing experience.
Falabella
Lola is a sweet mare who loves coconut water and playing in natural horsemanship. I dream of taking her to visit hospitals, as her gentleness and tenderness would heal many souls.
