Carlotta - April 2026

22/05/2026 - During my time at the IHP rescue centre, I have seen horses bearing visible signs of a past they did not deserve: scars on their bodies, vacant or frightened gazes, horses that were wary or difficult – yet thanks to you, they have been given a second chance to live freely, far from any form of coercion or human violence...where they can finally live in a herd, and feel safe.

Valerie - March 2026

03/05/2026 - Although I only spent a week volunteering at IHP, I learnt a lot, also about myself. Seeing so many rescued horses given the chance to live freely in a herd and in such vast spaces was truly touching. Every horse has its own story, but what they all have in common is the great fortune of having been rescued and brought to the Rescue Centre.

Yining - March 2026

06/04/2026 - In short, I highly recommend this place and support what IHP does. Horses need to live freely: that’s how it should be. And so do we. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can only be understood by experiencing it for yourself. Thank you so much, IHP, for everything!

Valentina - June 2025

16/06/2025 - I volunteered at IHP for a week and, despite the short time spent, I really learnt a lot there. The work is quite tiring and requires care and attention when doing certain tasks, but it is definitely rewarding. Seeing these horses, which have been mistreated in the past, live a peaceful and healthy life is the best reward

Nicole - June 2025

15/06/2025 - A beautiful and deeply educational experience that I would recommend even to those who, like me, have no knowledge of the subject. The Centre is wonderful and the people who work there convey all the passion needed to carry it out. The first few days are certainly an adjustment to the physical work, to the mixed emotions that the sight of horses coming from such difficult realities can provoke and to the pace that is, quite rightly, very intense, but everything you take home is really worth it.
