A New Home for Festina Lente
Having found an ideal location to move to, Festina Lente now faces its greatest challenge to date. To secure this new home, the Charity has to raise €3,000,000, and we need your help!

Equine Welfare & Equitation Science at Festina Lente
At the heart of the work of the Festina Lente, Equestrian Centre is the relationship between humans and horses and how they benefit people in so many ways. Festina Lente’s approach to working with horses, such that their welfare is paramount, is an ongoing and evolving journey. Equine Welfare, excellent mental, emotional and physical health and well-being of our equine is vital to everyone at Festina Lente.
