RETREATS & INTERNSHIPS

Welcome to my Home

This farm was created for YOU!

Finca de Sanson is the culmination of a lifelong dream to live peacefully and simply in the countryside.
This farm is more than my private home, this is my horsemanship centre.
But you will not find industrial horsemanship, or ranching here done rushed or at high volume. I have created a LABORATORY where a sustainable and healthy vision for the future of horse keeping and the equestrian hobby can be displayed, practiced and studied by visitors and students from anywhere in the world.

Travel to Galicia, North Western Spain to study, rest, practice and enjoy Horsemanship that puts the horses first.


Your teachers Sanson, Sureño, Caleb and Oki are here to teach you in a safe an intimate environment facilitated by first class horsekeeping and care, in a peaceful, idyllic corner of Spain, seldom visited by Tourists.

Lockie is offering two different options to interested horse people;
1. RETREATS

2. INTERNSHIPS

At this time, we are not offering volunteer positions.

Finca de Sanson is located in central Galicia, beautiful North-Western Spain. Famous for its lush green fields, long Spring, warm Summer, long Autumns, and short but wet winters, Galicia is one of Spain's best kept secrets.


Your stay here at the Finca would focus on gaining practical skills in groundwork, riding, horse care and personal skills needed to thrive with horses.

Emotional Horsemanship is our lense, but a very wide lense that can offer enormous scope for subjects to study and skills to practice.

Our horse-first approach demands that our students meet the horses where the horses are at in their development, as much as possible. We do not ask our horses to serve our students in a way that the horses do not enjoy or consent to.

A unique a valuable opportunity to experience emotionally balanced horsemanship with smart and autonomous horses that actually enjoy teaching.
