Dettagli del programma

We would like to let you know that no prior experience with horses is required to join this volunteering. What matters most is that you enjoy horses, love nature, and are willing to learn.

Please note that this role is not a local guide position, as guiding requires special training and certification.

Your help will be needed with:
-Stable management: cleaning boxes, giving hay, water, and food, and moving horses to and from the fields
-Horse care: grooming, preparing horses for rides, and keeping them fit and healthy
-Farm tasks: assisting with activity logistics or helping with repairs around the farm if needed

If you know how to ride, you may join us and the guests on rides when possible . If not, we can arrange some lessons for you! 😄
