Horses
Come and meet horses on their own terms in their natural environment. It is an experience that empowers horses and humans and encourages us to feel a deeper connection to nature and our own souls.
Come meet the herd!
Horses are the heart of Over the Edge Farm. They are the ones who led us here, as we sought the ideal environment for them to live the way nature intended. We are dedicated to their well-being, providing their natural needs of family, forage, freedom of movement, plus the advantages of domesticity, we call it NaturePlus horse care. Every day we learn more about what horses really need and how we can be the people they want us to be, we love to share what we have learned from and with them, and to introduce people to the world of horse. You can come any time or join one of our workshops

NaturePlus Horse Care
Let’s face it, it’s not really natural if there are fences is it? But Nayana has spent a life time figuring out how we can provide our horses the best of nature AND nurture.
If you are interested in giving your horses the best possible lifestyle, come and learn how you can bring nature into your horse’s life, even if he lives on a livery yard. Learn about essential oils, herbs and self-selection and how to integrate them into every day horse care.
At the same time you can enjoy hanging out with our nearly natural horse herd and soak up some Portuguese sunshine.
Horses for self-reflection
Horses, by their nature make wonderful mirrors for humans, throwing light on parts of us that are in pain or blocked. Just being with a herd of horses has a positive affect on the human heart, and they are master communicators, helping us to recognise and regulate emotional states. Nayana and Moumina have developed techniques that enhance this natural process to help you gain clarity about your self and your life direction.
Experienced horse lovers
Would you like to deepen your understanding of horses? Then join us as we re-examine the horse/human relationship. Our horses live in an environment that provides their biological and psychological requirements as a free-roaming herd.
Will they still choose to associate with us? How? When? Why? And how can we be people they choose to hang out with? Have your own questions? Let us help you answer them.
What else might you learn from these self-determined beings? Everyone’s experience is unique and profound. And usually surprising. Try it and see.
Love them, but don’t know them?
There is something about horses, isn’t there? They are inspirational, evocative, simply beautiful. Come and discover what that special something is and why you have always loved them. We can introduce you to the world of horses in a way that is safe, respectful and free of force.
Being with horses teaches us to connect honestly and communicate clearly. They demand from us clarity of intention, softness and strength, and encourage us to be centered and present. Nayana has a unique approach to help you develop these qualities and build a respectful relationship with the herd.
The ideal holiday for anyone who loves horses, whatever your experience level.
Meet horses in freedom, understand them and yourself more deeply.
Develop communication skills and energy awareness, just like a horse
