In 2024 TABELA was established with the intention to change the lifes of horses in Nepal for the better!
Witnessing the lack of proper care and understanding for horses in Nepal, our founders envisioned a place where rescued horses could heal and thrive, and where people could learn to connect with animals on a deeper level. This vision materialized into TABELA, a haven where compassion meets education.
At TABELA, we believe in the transformative power of human-animal relationships. Our center not only provides a safe and nurturing environment for rescued horses but also serves as an educational platform. Through interactive programs, we aim to foster empathy, responsibility, and a sense of stewardship in our visitors, especially children.
We invite you to be a part of our journey — to learn, to heal, and to grow alongside our animal companions.
~ Guests are Kings – Horses are Gods ~
As a social enterprise, we do not exist to maximize profit — but to maximize impact. Our goal is to offer better lives to as many horses in Nepal as possible. We do this by rescuing, adopting, and rehabilitating horses in need, but also by working to educate the next generation of animal lovers and empower local horse owners with knowledge, humane alternatives, and practical tools for better care.
Because horse welfare infrastructure is limited in Nepal, our work relies on the collaboration and encouragement of a broader community — both locally and internationally. By supporting our mission, you become part of a meaningful journey that blends compassion, education, and long-term change. Every visit, lesson, or donation helps us continue to give voice and dignity to animals who cannot speak for themselves.
The beginning:
It all started with one horse, which was sick and in dear need of medical support. In order to help this horse Reman das Shrestha and his wife adopted this horse to try to rescue her life! It was unsure how this horses health would develop and whether they could prevent putting her to sleep, because of a multitude of medical issues – but with lots of intense care and efforts from vets in Nepal and abroad, SHE MADE IT! Now Kali is one of the happiest horses in TABELA. She is such a reliable and trustworthly sould and actually the true founder of TABELA NEPAL.
Her health journey inspired to idea to help more horses in Nepal who are in similar situation because of lack of knowledge or resources. As caretaking of horses is very costly, not all owners can afford the care they would like for their horses, others are just unwilling to invest into their animals.
Here at TABELA the horses have the absolute first priority and all our efforts are JUST to provide them with a comfortable happy life!
