Welcome to the Tara Ranch! Between the ocean and the desert lies the horse and animal farm ‘Granja Tara’ on the west coast of Fuerteventura, close to the beautiful beaches of El Cotillo.
Every animal on our farm has its own story, which we will be happy to tell you over a coffee.
Surrounded by nature, you are welcome to take part in a horse ride or one of our half-day programmes on offer, or, true to the motto ‘a home without animals is like heaven without stars’, you can spend your holiday with us. Either way, you will have a fantastic time at Tara Ranch. We offer comfortable accommodation, with or without an activity programme. Take a look at our small houses and accommodations to find a cosy spot!
The horse and animal welfare farm Tara in El Roque is our center for the encounter between animals and humans. Here we offer mindfulness with our horses and courses for “Mindful - Trust Training” with our animals. We ride out here once a day - along the spectacular cliffs of El Cotillo or romantically into the sunset in the evening. The rides last around 2 hours and are suitable for individuals as well as couples and families. In the mixed groups, we make sure that beginners and more experienced riders have fun in equal measure. And our horses too, of course! For advanced riders, we are also happy to arrange personalized VIP rides with individual routes, depending on experience.
Special: Romantic sunsets
Mindfulness course: Arrive in the here and now
In this course, you create a space for presence - an island beyond right and wrong. Consciously experiencing the present moment creates a deep connection to yourself and to others, supported by encounters with horses if desired. Without judgement, you perceive what is present within you and open up to your own feelings and needs. Individual life situations, questions and problems can be addressed. This creates a path to greater clarity, inner peace and authentic connection.
This course is aimed at owners and animal lovers who want to get to know a magical human-horse interaction.
It is based on presence and non-violent communication, according to the founder Marshall Rosenberg.
What does it mean to be "PRESENT"? Why does "being present" change our friendship? What else is possible to have a happy and easy relationship with the horse?
This course will show you how much more connection and trust with your horse is possible, change your thinking about partnership forever, and help you build a deep friendship with your animals !!!

Our small farm is an oasis by the sea!
The typical Canarian house has been lovingly restored by us and is very cosy. The beach and the fishing village are a 10 minute walk away.
The location and the sea view, the peace and quiet and the many animals on the finca make for a great holiday feeling.
The house with its 2 bedrooms offers space for 4 people and all windows offer great views of the sea. The terrace and the large garden invite you to barbecue or just relax.

Tara Animal Rescue Farm is mainly financed by our programme "Mindfulness with horses" and by the support of our sponsors - donations are invested in feeding the animals, the farrier and the vet!
Become a sponsor - we will be happy to inform you!
Our four-legged friends, and also the three-legged goat Flakes, say thank you very much.
Together we are never alone!
On the road to El Cotillo, leave El Roque on the right and Granja Tara is on the left, next to the old mill, which is easy to see. At the small crossroads, just before the end of the village, follow the natural path towards the mill. You can´t miss our sign.
