Be a Helping Hand in Horse Care and Guest Experiences

---

Das Erlebnis

Horsemanship skills are key: basic veterinary care, recognizing when shoes need changing, handling multiple horses, and understanding nutrition. Staff will help polish these skills. The work involves lots of riding, so riding fitness is essential. Tasks include grooming, tack care, feeding, and field management. Flexibility and a can-do attitude are a must. Volunteers may assist on tours, helping with guest needs, baggage, and equipment.

Programmdetails

Horsemanship skills are key
- basic veterinary skills
- recognizing when shoes need to be changed
- ability to handle multiple horses at once
- understanding nutrition and basic medical care
(Staff are very willing to help polish these skills.)

The work consists of a lot of riding in-between tours. You can spend a full day riding so best if you are riding fit. All of the horses have individual characters and are in different stages of training, and so some schooling may be required – depending on applicants skills.

Other tasks include:
- grooming
- taking care of the tack
- field management
- feeding and basic veterinary care

The work is varied and days can be long; only people with a “can-do” attitude, flexibility and willingness to get stuck in to any task need apply!

In addition to farm responsibilities, volunteers have a possibility to be able to come along on the horse riding tours as
an assistant guide. During the riding tours, in addition to riding, you may be required to: help move guest baggage, horse
feed and other equipment; make picnic lunches; and deal with any requirements the guests may have.

Manuals, checklists and training are provided to support you. There is a lot to learn, but we will help you out along the way.

Job Benefits
- Opportunity to live and work on a farm with an unbeatable view, in a beautiful part of the world
- Spend days off exploring Ecuador (Amazon, Cloud Forest, Galapagos Islands – Ride Andes will help seeking
discounts for you). You get one and half days off per week which you can accumulate and have a longer break
- Potential to be involved in a variety of different charity projects that are underway with Ride Andes
