CaféTéArte presents a charity Rooibos to help Galán, the ex-police horse

Animals help society more than we think; it is time to pay tribute to Galán, the ex-police horse

Few of us value the great contribution animals make to our society. This is not limited to the field of food, but also to all the physical work they carry out, whether in transport or agriculture, among other tasks. In the particular case of horses, we find many of these animals working for police forces, providing an effective means of transport that requires a minimum of care in order to enjoy it for a long time.

Below we are going to tell you the story of Galán, a magnificent horse who had to stop working for the police and for whom a beautiful donation initiative has been prepared to guarantee him a peaceful future: the Galan Rooibos from CaféTéArte.

But who is Galán?

Galán is a horse that worked for police forces for several years. Despite the great work he provided for the police force, the overloading he was subjected to caused an illness that seriously affected his back. In fact, anyone who looks at the animal from the side will notice a very pronounced curve in his back, a clear sign of his illness.

Horses that are no longer able to continue the work they used to provide to humans are usually used so that students can do practical training with them. However, in the vast majority of cases they are usually slaughtered to use their meat in the manufacture of animal feed.

This story has touched the heart of Félix, the owner of the CaféTéArte Tea and Infusions Shop, which has led him to prepare a very special initiative to guarantee a comfortable and peaceful retirement for the horse Galán.

What is CaféTéArte?

CaféTéArte is the name of the online tea and coffee sales business run by Félix, which has committed, with the help of its customers, to offering Galán a better future.

Rooibos Galán: the initiative to help Galán from Café Té Arte

Félix, owner of CaféTéArte, was moved by the story of the poor horse Galán, feeling in a way identified with his story, since he too saw his working life affected by back problems that prevented him from making great physical efforts.

That is why, together with the rest of his team, they prepared an initiative to raise funds to guarantee Galán a retirement at the Winston Sanctuary, a place where he can rest and live peacefully for the rest of his life. This initiative consists of selling an infusion that allows customers of CaféTéArte to contribute to the cause while at the same time enjoying a quality product.

Learn about the composition of the Rooibos Galán infusion

The infusion chosen to represent this initiative is a Rooibos, a relaxing infusion that faithfully reflects Galán’s diet at the Winston Sanctuary, with blackberries, raspberries and flowers, as well as sunflower petals used to give it more shine. At first, in order to represent the strength and majesty of this horse, a black tea base was considered, but then something softer and sweeter was chosen that better reflects the times of peace and tranquility that accompany retirement.

This Rooibos makes an infusion that can be drunk both in the morning and to relax after work. It is a relaxing drink that you can enjoy both hot and cold, contains no allergens and is suitable for all ages.

How can I help Galán with Rooibos Galán?

Part of the income that CaféTéArte earns from the sales of this infusion will be allocated to Galán’s care and to guaranteeing his retirement at the Winston Sanctuary. These are the corresponding amounts:

  • For every 100-gram pack of the infusion sold, one euro will go to the cause.
  • For every 250-gram pack, it will be two euros
  • 500-gram packs will contribute four euros to this initiative
  • Finally, 1-kilogram packs will contribute seven euros to Galán’s care
