Making the world a better place together
Support La Perla
La Perla is a wonderful place with wonderful horses, where I put all my heart and soul into and which I hope will remain for a long time to come. But I can no longer manage to take care of it all by myself.
And I don't want to have to do it alone anymore! The language of the new age speaks of togetherness, connectedness and humanity. The networking of people has become ever greater and more powerful in recent years. And that's why I'm turning to you.
The mission of la Perla Stud Farm and myself is to make the world a better place for horses.
Everyone who loves horses, everyone who loves nature, wants a world in which all people and all animals are well. Many people (actually all people) who have visited La Perla rave about this place that I have created, where the horses can live and grow up in the best conditions, where they are treated well and lovingly and where they get everything they need.
Imagine a world where animal welfare is no longer necessary because all animals are doing well. If there are more places like La Perla, it will be a step in that direction and we will make the world a better place together.
I know that I could save a lot of money if I weaned the foals at 6 months and had them picked up immediately, if I didn't worm them 4 times a year, if I didn't call the vet when he was needed, if I didn't take the foals and their mothers to the clinic, if it was necessary, if the old mares could not enjoy their retired life in the pasture, but would go to the slaughterhouse as soon as they were no longer "producing" broodmares, if the stallions were not well looked after, but would only come out of the box for mating. The list could go on and on and unfortunately corresponds to reality in many places.
But I have always said, and this is my deepest conviction, that if I can't offer the horses an optimal life and if I can't make the world a little better for the horses, then I will let it go completely and not betray my values just for the sake of money. I won't bring horse souls into the world if I can't take absolute 100% care of them. Money is important, no question, but for me it is absolutely not the reason why La Perla exists.
But the money is necessary to be able to pay all the bills. And that's where you come in.
There are so many people who would also like to make the world a better place (for the horses) if they could, but they don't have the means. I have the possibilities here and if you support the stud farm, then you are also actively and directly helping to make the world a better place for the horses. Together we can do it! Together we can create great things in this world!
There are many of us and we are not alone! If everyone supports La Perla's horses and La Perla as much as they can, then I can continue to put my heart and soul into keeping La Perla alive. This is how we move forward together!
If you can support the stud with a regular, for example monthly, contribution, then that's great.
If you can help La Perla now with a one-off contribution, that's great too.
Everyone as much as he/she can. Every contribution, whether one, two, three, six or seven figures, helps!
You can send your support to the stud via PayPal: lusitanoslaperla@gmail.com or via the donation account at BBVA: IBAN ES04 0182 5960 4102 0168 2232, BIC BBVAESMMXXX. Both with the note "Donation".
Everything helps La Perla to survive, to exist and to be there for all of you!
And if you have any other good ideas, please let me know!
You can also support a special horse of your choice by sponsoring it. I'll be happy to give you more information at any time and you can also find it below.
I'm always happy to answer any questions, suggestions and ideas!
What do you get in return? Apart from good karma ;-), you are actively helping to maintain a place where the horses are doing well and making the world a better place!
Asking for help is not easy. But this is not about my ego or my pride. It's about La Perla. It's about all the wonderful horses at La Perla and I will do everything in my power to ensure that it continues and that La Perla remains a place where the horses can grow up and live happily and where the people can relax. Hence this page. It is in your hands whether we can do this! I'm asking for your help so that we can achieve this goal together.
And it's also about La Perla. As a customer and now very good friend said when she was here for the first time: "La Perla is a place where the soul can find peace."
The doors of La Perla are always open to visitors and many people have already spent unforgettable days here. I hope that I can continue to keep the doors open and preserve this place.
It's about making the world a beautiful place for horses, where they can live happily with people! And it's about preserving a place where you can all take a break from a world that is getting faster, more hectic and crazier and find peace and happiness in true contact with nature, the horses and your own soul! Together!
Sponsorships
Would you like to sponsor one of the beads?
Then either let a horse "find" you during a visit to the stud farm or contact us. Together we will definitely find the right sponsored horse for you.
You decide how long the sponsorship should last and what you would like to contribute financially.
Examples of sponsored horses
Here you can find some of our older broodmares who are allowed to spend their twilight years at the stud. Of course you can also sponsor one of the stallions, another broodmare or a foal.
Po de Arroz celebrated her 28th birthday this year. She is super fit and when you see her trotting across the pasture, you can hardly believe her age. This wonderful mare is, among other things, the mother of our breeding stallion Flamenco, the mother of our broodmare Cantora and the mother, grandmother and great-grandmother of many other wonderful pearls. She has now been enjoying her retirement for 6 years, helping to raise the younger ones as a wise aunt and is a very valuable member of the herd.
Quadrilha is our second oldest mare. She turned 27 years old in 2024. She is also in excellent health and has been enjoying her retirement for 4 years. At the age of 23 she gave us Querido la Perla and she is also the mother of our special stallion Glacial and the wonderful broodmare Habanera. Po de Arroz and she are good friends and the two oldest ladies are usually out and about together.
Xaquira is 21 years old, has been retired for many years for health reasons and receives all the care she needs from us. She is an extremely kind and loving mare and can live with us for as long as she wants. Two of her daughters (Escandalosa and Guitarra) and even granddaughters of hers (Jirona and Melódica) are broodmares with us. So her great legacy is already being passed on to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
Sorraia celebrated her 25th birthday in 2024. She even gave us a foal last year at the age of 24 and has now entered her well-deserved retirement. 🥰
She is a very sweet, gentle and friendly mare and her beautiful daughter Shibata (by Nabucco) is for sale.
