Building construction worker with experience

I stayed two weeks at the lodge and it was absolutely amazing, 100% recommended! Before going you should know and consider that pick up cannot always be done, since it's far away (~1h) and weather condition may not permit it (during winter), and you would have to pay for the taxi. But apart from this, since when I arrived until the very last day,it was a wonderful and immersive experience that allowed me to learn lots about horses, how to ride them and also manual work. You have to be willing to work hard if you want to come here, but I tell you that it will be fulfilling and unforgettable!

Do not underestimate this work experience, if you are not ready to work hard almost all the time, this place will eat you alive. Pros: - You can take on a large variety of projects and there is opportunity to explore your own style. - Days off are respected if clearly outlined. Cons: - Unless you can manage to leave the farm, there's no real days off - This place is poorly managed by the owners, shortcuts are common and plans are often not thoroughly thought through. I had a lot of fun for my own reasons but I can see that this is not for everyone one.

LOTS of work, LOTS of fun. I volunteered here for one month and it was unforgettable. Pros: the other volunteers. They made this an extraordinary experience • the work: helping and riding the horses, and construction made my working time greatly enjoyable • food: always had a full belly, and a smile after meal. Meals NOT provided, only ingredients. Con's: • workload: 10-12 hours per day. Days off respected. •Living infrastructure: Limited Water in small reservoir filled by generator. •volunteer housing was okay- a carpeted room in a storage shed. • many listed benefits did not exist

Being at this farm was quite an interesting experience. Be surrounded and riding horses was the best part of it, but so was sharing moments and conversations with the guests and volunteers. The job can be quite hard due to the weather conditions (in winter) and the lack of running water sometimes. However the work was rewarded with great food and the chance to ride horses sometimes. I even got to be part of a music video from an artist who came to film it at the farm, which was an unbelievable experience! I thank everyone for this opportunity, with ups and downs but a nice one overall.

I had a great stay at the ranch! The views from the mountains are beautiful, and during my stay, I met wonderful people who made my time there even more enjoyable. The work varies a lot depending on the day, so if you're not used to hard labor, it might take you a few days to adjust to the tasks at the ranch.

I loved my stay here! The ranch is surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. During my stay I was able to go on one of the 6 day trail rides, which was an amazing experience. I did not interact much with Igor as he was gone during my stay, but to me he seems to be a fair and hardworking person. If you are not familiar with ranch work, you will be expected to work hard and the hours/tasks can not always be followed exactly, which is typical of work with horses :) I would recommend this experience to anyone who is prepared to work hard and enjoy some stunning nature.

First of all i was lucky to have an excellent group of volunteers..., in this place you will really learn a lot about horses and see everything they can offer you in terms of personal growth. the lodge is far from the city, so it is a good place to understand how day to day life works on a farm and give importance to the essential services, you have to be willing to improve yourself, it really is a good experience, thank you to the hosts, i felt welcome

An incredible experience which provided me with knowledge about sustainability, teamwork, environmental awareness, and increased my love for horses. My agreed tasks were horse care and training - and that's what was expected of me. We had a wonderful time working with other volunteers, completing daily tasks, riding horses, and cherishing the beautiful surroundings. The hosts are welcoming and supportive - a massive thank you to them. A small warning: the water is scarce and there is only a dry bath for volunteers (if this is an issue for you, keep this in mind when applying).

It is an experience that you need in your life, you learn every day and every hour, you meet incredible people and volunteers, you can learn about sustainability, conservation and the importance of water, have experience with horses at another level, be part of a great team and be a true cowboy, you will have a connection with nature and enjoy the stars every night, it is a volunteering for people who truly enjoy having a simple life. For me, one of the best experiences.

I planned to spend one month at the farm and eventually stayed for 2,5 weeks. The initial shock (culture and primitive way of life) was a bit much for me personally. Once I got used to it more, I could enjoy the experience more. I had a great time at the farm and with the horses. Truly a life changing experience! I am definitely considering going back to enjoy it some more! Very peaceful life there, once you understand how to live life there.
