Meet Cobre and Azubache, 2 of the horses at the ranch who are looking for some humans who can show them love, groom them,let them show you the spirit of horses and help in the costs of keeping them healthy.
If you do not want the responsibility of owning a horse and do not have the ability to ride , but understand the healing of being in the presence of horses and the unlimited benefits, then Rancho la Libertad, has a solution.
A few of the horses at the ranch do not have a human companions on a consistent basis so we are looking for people who would like sponsor them.
They will be available at the ranch on Saturday from 9 -12 at our Hanging with Horses for you to meet.
We hope you can join us as we build a community around horses and support local farmers and businesses!

these sessions will be 300 pesos per person

Option 2 is every Saturday morning from 9 til 12 and will be more of a community gathering with some horses available for grooming or riding in arena, but will also feature local vendors to participate in a farmers market type setting..

Another perfect match! There are no limits to the amazing calming benefits of being with these amazing creatures...
It has been scientifically proven that being within 3 meters of horses immediately calm the heart and reduces stress and depression.
So in addition to group rides, Rancho la Libertad is providing opportunities to Hang with horses that mutually benefit human and horse. Every Friday from 4-6 in the arena you can visit with horses.
Also, Rancho la Libertad is looking for a few people to sponsor a horse where you can come and groom them, walk them and help contribute to their care.... there is no reason that riders get to have all the fun...
For those who can and would like to go on our group rides, this week we are riding Wed morning and Sat an early ride and a short beginning ride at 10:00... we hope you join us...

Yesterday, we had an amazing meditation with music from Diane and Serge at Rancho la Libertad!
Over the years, we have had many people who dont or cant ride,that have reached out to us that still want to connect and bond with horses,so we are adding other gatherings and social activities in addition to our group rides.
We are working on adding another group to include these gatherings, but in the meantime, if you would like to be included in communications, please email [email protected]
One of the upcoming events will be qigong with horses on March 13th...
We appreciate your support on our goal of human horse connections in the Chapala area!!!!
