This was my first volunteer work. And the days I stayed at the farm were incredible. Very welcoming family. Unfortunately, I had to leave early for professional reasons in another country. But I would definitely go back. It's lovely to work with the horses. I recommend this experience to everyone.

The place is incredible surrounded by nature, you will have the freedom to walk, cycle in nature every day if you want, and also have contact with animals. But what makes this place special are the people, the family and workers at the farm/hotel are completely amazing and friendly with every volunteer, you will make good friends and eat good food! You can easily spend months in this place because of this energy and the work is kind of easy and fun. It's definitely a place you'll never forget.

This was my first experience working with horses, and it was nice learning about them and how to interact with them, so no previous knowledge is required. At the stable, most of the interactions regarding training and daily tasks were with Theresa. She is a very sweet person who tries to make sure that everything is going well with the volunteers. I really enjoyed working with her. Also most of the people working at the stable and the hotel are Germans, so it's a good place to practice the language. If you want to be in a quiet place and go for walks in the nature, this is a great option.

Despite the good treatment received from the family, we consider that the work doesn't correspond to what volunteering should be. They treated us like workers. We were the only ones in charge of cleaning the entire hotel during July and they wanted us to sign some papers to "stabilize" our situation. We were not allowed to say that we worked/volunteered there if anyone asked us, so we felt our situation irregular. In addition, they can put you to work as a dishwasher in another business (25 minutes by bike). The review only leaves us with 600 characters, so tell us if you want our full review.

The first thing I would like to highlight was the closeness and kindness of the Schulze family, about which I have no complaints. Otherwise, I had to end my experience a month earlier than planned because things began to go wrong: disagreements began with the person in charge of the volunteers, who works in the stables. We had a meeting with those responsible to talk about the working conditions of the volunteers and from then on things got worse: bad faces, constant orders, incomprehension and 0 flexibility. I experienced some situations that made me end my experience earlier than planned.

Dear Mery,
thank you for your detailed review.
We hope you had a safe journey home.
After speaking to you about working conditions and changing the weekly schedule for your interests we had the feeling the situation for yourself got better. We were suprised when you told us you will leave during the next day. So we didn´t have the change to make your experience last till the end like planned. Unfortunately it is very difficult to take care about every single issue while working in a team eventhough we thought we took a lot of care of your special private situation.
Nevertheless we wish you all the best and hope you keep on traveling and volunteering because we love to give young people the opportunity to experience culture, working, traveling etc.
Regards from Family and Team Pferdeschulze

Muy bien ambiente laboral, solo hace adecuar bien para las temporadas de invierno y verano las instalaciones y dinamizar el compromiso entre los voluntarios de hacer el aseo a sus instalaciones los cuales deben ser coordinados por el anfitrión dentro el horario laboral en todo lo demás excelente

When I arrive I was with two Colombiens boys in the room and the bathroom wasn't clean. I didn't feel serene and comfortable with this experience.

Dear Carla,
unfortunately we couldn´t give you the experience the other volunteers enjoy with us. In our profile we make public that we have one shared room with. We hope you keep on traveling. All the best to you.

If you're wondering where all the best volunteers went, it's here! Alongside the lovely horses, they made the work pleasurable and my stay a truly unforgettable experience. Arriving there was quite a challenge, though. Be sure to remind the host about your arrival and get somebody's phone number beforehand. Trust me! Be prepared to work at the hotel too, and when there're guests-to work under pressure. And in the winter, consider twice if you can stand cold dormitory! Most of the people are so heartwarmingly nice and helpful there, I felt very welcome to work the stables and in the kitchen!

Vine después de una terrible experiencia de voluntariado. Max me acepto en unos días y ha sido mi salvación. El lugar es increíblemente pacífico. Las labores han sido cortas y sencillas, lo que te da tiempo y espacio para aprovechar de realizar tus actividades propias, como aprender el idioma. La disposición de ayuda y comunicación por parte de la familia ha sido muy buena, lo que agradezco bastante. Aqui vas a disfrutar lo que es verdaderamente la cultura alemana y vas a estar en contacto con personas lugareñas u otros voluntarios. Gracias a toda la familia Schulze.
