Chevaux de Colombettes

Our farm is a great fit for true horse lovers. If you’re an accomplished rider, comfortable around horses, and genuinely know how to handle them—including the occasional “spicy” moment—you’ll feel right at home here. This is a working environment with real animals and real situations, so confidence, calmness, and common sense matter.

Why choose our place?

You’re not just visiting a farm—you’re joining a project. We value people who are hands-on, reliable, and enjoy being involved rather than standing on the sidelines. If you like contributing, learning, and being part of something meaningful, this place makes sense.


We work together as much as possible and keep things straightforward. The atmosphere is friendly, open-minded, and collaborative. Think less “staff hierarchy” and more “working together like friends who take a project seriously.” We appreciate people who are well-rounded, motivated, and not afraid of real work.

Esperaba conocer a Silvy pero no fue así, en los 2 días que estuve allá ella no estuvo y llegaría 15 días después, éramos sólo su esposo y yo, realmente no fue muy buena experiencia aunque el chico es agradable. Las horas son repartidas en todo el día y algo con lo que no estoy de acuerdo es que los días de descanso no serán días de descanso si tú estás en la granja, sería como cualquier día normal y las posibilidades de ir a conocer otros lugares son muy limitadas o muy caras :)

Recomiendo esta experiencia para las personas que quieran conectar consigo mismos y experimentar la vida de campo. Las tareas no son muchas ni muy pesadas pero estan repartidas a lo largo del dia, las cuales consisten en cuidar de 3 caballos y 4 mascotas. Tenes mucho tiempo libre a solas y tenes tu propio cuarto y baño. Jerome y Sylvia son excelentes personas, con trato amable y considerado. Siempre van a estar dispuestos a darte una mano o ayudarte en lo que necesites.

There are no words to explain how good was my experience in the farm. Jerome, Sylvie and Río (the dog) are a incredible family that I will miss so much 🥺. I really appreciate the time with them, they treat me as a son.
You get a private room and bathroom. During the cold season, i was in charge of taking horses in and out, brushing them, cleaning the stalls, watering the plants and some maintenance.

We eat the meals together and watching a movie. Food was delicious and plentiful.

If you are looking for connecting with nature and meet amazing hosts, just apply.

I will miss you so much

My experience at Chaveux de Colombettes was overall good. I recommend it for people who want to be in the countryside, far from the noise of the cities. Personally, I was only with the owner of the place, three horses, three cats, and a dog. The tasks are easy to manage and, in theory, there is plenty of “free time.” However, the agreement of working 4 hours per day with 2 days off is not really respected, since you cannot leave the property unless by car, and daily activities are required—for example, feeding the animals. Finally, the Wi-Fi does not reach the volunteers’ room.
