The fire past just Next to Olafs property. Loads of stress and worries allong the night. But the horses were evacuated by lovely volunteers. And for now, the fire seems to be under control.
😶‍🌫️😰😢🥵🔥
Thanks to everybody who helped in some way or form 🩷🦄

A Big Thank you to Olaf Linke - Still helping horses behind the scenes

Even though Algarve Horse Alarm as we all knew closed, Olaf Linke continues to step in where he can, assisting with rescue transports and other direct interventions. His dedication means a lot to the horses, who rely on this vital help.

We are still accepting donations to cover the costs of keeping these efforts going on a much smaller scale.

We had to say goodbye to Esperança, the very first horse rescued by Algarve Horse Alarm, and the reason this entire project was born.

When we found her, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Her condition was unacceptable. She had been so deeply mistreated that it was hard to understand how no one had helped her sooner. The pain in her eyes, the neglect she endured… it shook us to the core.

It was in that moment that our goals changed. She made us realise that we couldn’t just look the other way. That something had to be done. That we had to act. And we did, we rescued over 140 horses.

Esperança was adopted by one of the founders and spent the rest of her life surrounded by love, safety, and freedom. She went from barely surviving to truly living. Her gentle presence, her strength, and her ability to trust again left an imprint on everyone who met her.

Lately, she began showing us that her body was getting tired, that her pain was returning. And as always, we kept our promise, to never let her suffer again. We let her go with peace and dignity, wrapped in love.

Is it a coincidence that she was the first… and chose to leave us now, just as we prepare to close Algarve Horse Alarm? Maybe. Or maybe she knew. Her mission was complete.

Thank you, Esperança. You didn’t just change our lives. You were the engine of this project.

We still need a home for an amazing mare!
Bahia is a lovely young mare, around 4 years old, with a kind and curious nature. She’s been through a lot, but she’s making amazing progress and is slowly learning to trust again.

She arrived with a pelvic issue, but is now doing so much better and moving comfortably. Despite her recovery, we believe Bahia should not be ridden.

She would be perfect as a companion horse or for groundwork and therapy sessions. She enjoys human interaction and would thrive in a calm environment with people who understand her sensitivity and gentle spirit.

- She is Not suitable for riding
- She is Great for companionship or groundwork
- She is Kind, sweet, and curious

If you think you can offer Bahia the peaceful and loving forever home she deserves, please get in touch with us.

💙 Thank You & Good News! 💙

First of all, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your support during this difficult time. Your kindness have meant the world to us. We are overwhelmed with all the kind comments and private msgs.

We have some good news to share! For our three most complicated rescue cases, we have found the perfect solution:
🐴 Juliet, our very old lady, will be adopted by our amazing partner Swiss Mobile Vet Clinic.
🐴 Pimenta will find a loving home with Jane Kemp
🐴 Dream will stay with us, as it is likely his last year of life, and we don't think its fair to rehome him at this point.

However, these three still need your help! They are expensive to keep, and both Swiss Mobile Vet Clinic and Jane Kemp have already invested so much of their own private funds to help rescue horses. Any support, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in their lives.

Swiss Mobile Vet Clinic will be one of the only organizations ready to help horses in need. But they need support!!!

As for the other horses, we have several people coming over the next few days to see them, and the future is looking bright! We are hopeful that all of them will soon find the loving homes they deserve.

Thank you again for everything. We couldn’t have done this without you! 💙🙏

📢 Important Announcement: The End of Algarve Horse Alarm

With heavy hearts and many tears, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to end Algarve Horse Alarm. Since 2018, we have rescued and been directly involved in over 140 rescue cases, providing urgent medical care to hundreds of horses. Sadly, some arrived in such a critical state that help came too late, but we are proud that 95% found loving homes with amazing people, most of them in Portugal.

Together, we built a community, raised awareness of horse welfare, and made a real difference in the lives of so many horses. The impact of this project has been immense, and we are truly proud of everything we have accomplished. None of this would have been possible without your support, and for that, we are forever grateful.

We are closing this chapter for many reasons. The main one is that we can no longer meet our own and your expectations. The daily pressure, the enormous financial burden of caring for rescue horses, and the immense time commitment have become unsustainable. We have also faced life-threatening situations.

We are no longer willing to take the risks, time, and financial strain involved.

Now, our priority is finding urgent homes for all remaining horses. We would deeply appreciate your help in giving them the loving homes they deserve.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 💙🙏

Magic the Mule is Looking for His Forever Home!

Magic’s journey has been a tough one. He was rescued when he could no longer walk, but with time, care, and patience, he made an amazing recovery. Though still a little shy, he is a very friendly and sweet mule who just needs the right person to give him a chance.

He had already found what seemed like the perfect home, but due to unforeseen medical issues, Magic had to come back to us. Now, we are searching again for his true forever home—a place where he will be safe, loved, and cared for.

Could you be the one to give Magic his happy ending? If you’re interested in adopting or want to know more, please get in touch!

Message us for details!

In March 2020, at the COVID outbreak, we found Dream in terrible shape—skin and bones, covered in lice and parasites. It was clear he had been through so much, but his gentle spirit still shone through.

For the past five years, with time, love, and care, Dream recovered, but we soon realized that his ongoing needs made it difficult to find him a suitable home. He was already an older horse when we rescued him, so instead of rehoming him, we chose to keep him under our care, ensuring he always gets the attention he deserves.

Caring for Dream isn’t easy—it comes at a cost. But seeing him happy, healthy, and safe makes every effort worth it.

💛 Who wants to guess the age we estimated for him? Comment below!

💛 If you’d like to support Dream and our other rescues, every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping us give them the lives they deserve!
