I had a great time at Pambasinchi ! The team working there was very lovely and took care of us as volunteers, especially Franklin and Veronica. I learned a lot on horses, however we were unlucky because of the strikes Rodrigo wasn’t able to come as much as he wanted. The job is very physical, it’s about 8h/day, and we didn’t get to ride horses a lot (+/- twice a week) so it can be a bit frustrating if you want to ride a lot. I also went to Alejandro’s house and had a lovely time there riding horses and learning from him.

Espero haya na proxima oportunidad, seras siempre bienvenida.

I really enjoyed my time at the Hacienda. Veronica, Franklin, and Ezekiel really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and make sure I was always learning something, never bored, and well taken care of. The Hacienda is beautiful and you get to be immersed in nature every day. It is true that you walk A LOT. At least 4 miles a day. If you are up for hard work, some days very tiring, then this experience is for you. I enjoyed my work here but there are some differences, for example you work about 8 hours a day and ride maybe once or twice a week. Overall I had a nice time :)

Hola Jessica,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, there was not time for riding, specially because of the strikes. Moreover, I know that Ezequiel is not an expert rider and it does not help, I always encourage volunteers to keep some horses near the house and then using them to move the other horses, but Ezequiel does not want to understand this idea.

Thanks for all your help.

La experiencia en Pambasinchi fue increíble y enriquecedora. La Hacienda, rodeada de montañas, permite una conexión única con la naturaleza. Movíamos a los caballos para que tuvieran hierba fresca, recorriendo unos 12 km al día. Rodrigo venía una vez por semana ya que trabaja en Quito, mientras que Ezequiel, aunque no tenía mucho conocimiento de caballos, siempre nos recibió con buena actitud y compartió lo que sabía. Como sugerencia, poner una nevera y asegurar agua caliente y cumplir con los horarios de la app.

For me it was not a good experience. The workers are really nice, but the host not so much. If you expect to ride different horses that are also actually trained well, this wouldn’t be the place for you. Horses are very young, but very nice. The riding is only possible with a couple of them. It’s also a lot of walking to and from the fields, which wasn’t a problem but decide for yourself if this is something for you. You also buy and cook your own food, with exceptions of some products like milk, eggs, bread. The actual training with guidance is not a lot of times. I left earlier.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hacienda Pambasinchi. I met incredible people from all over the world and the locals were just so kind and giving. I really felt at home.
The work was harder than I expected especially because of all the walking that was needed to change the horses of fields, but it was so fulfilling. We had a little issue with our beds but otherwise everything was perfect. The horses were great too. I really recommend this place if you like to walk, meet new people, want to learn spanish, know how to ride horses and are open-minded. This experience will leave you speechless!
