Dettagli del programma
Join Us at Monte dos Carotos – A Unique Equestrian Homestead in Portugal!
Monte dos Carotos, a charming Bed & Breakfast nestled in the peaceful Alentejo countryside, is looking for enthusiastic volunteers! If you have a passion for horses, farm life, and hospitality, this is your chance to be part of a unique experience.
About me:
Monte dos Carotos is a small homestead run by Sylvie Veninga, offering riding lessons, trail rides, and horse training. With 9 horses, 3 dogs, and 4 cats, there’s always something happening! We also welcome guests to our cozy Bed & Breakfast, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
What I Offer:
As part of your stay, you’ll have your own comfortable room right next to the swimming pool—a perfect retreat after a rewarding day of work. We provide all meals, ensuring you’re well-fed and energized for your tasks, and you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from Sylvie, who has over 25 years of experience in animal husbandry and car.
Attività e turni
*What We’re Looking For:*
We need a motivated young woman (in her 20s and up) who can stay for at least 2 to 3 months. Riding experience is highly valued, as we work with difficult horses and need help exercising them on trail rides. Volunteers will assist with:
• Cleaning stables and paddocks
• Feeding and watering the horses
• Helping with daily exercise and trail rides
• Preparing and cleaning guest rooms during tourist season
• General maintenance tasks like painting and pruning
Regole
Since we work closely with animals, flexibility is key—horses don’t run on a fixed schedule! Their needs come first, and daily tasks can vary depending on the situation. Volunteers should be adaptable, ready for unexpected challenges, and comfortable with the dynamic nature of farm life.
