I really enjoyed my time at skyros. I think there was enough work and enough free time. One day a week was a free day when I could go to the city or the beach. I recommend this place to everyone who likes horses and simple and peacefull life style.

I'm glad I could support Amanda's and Stathis incredible project. They care for their animals more than well. The work and accommodation is as described and the area is very pretty. It's a good opportunity if you are looking for a place to calm down and be around lots of animals. I liked the volunteer team, it was always nice and I met great people :)

It's a great place. Amanda and Stathie are nice people and they make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The work can be hard if you're not used to it. But you will gain strength during your time here. I was supposed to stay for 2 months but instead I stayed 4, so I definitely recommend it.

I stayed at Amanda and Stathis' farm for two months. Both of them are incredibly kind and welcoming, treating their volunteers with much respect and open hearts. Their dedication to the project is mind-blowing. They both give their all and still go above and beyond to care for not only the many beautiful horses, but all the animals they have taken into their care. The farm is a place where you can truly learn more about yourself, while also never getting too bored as there is always something to do or discover around the farm/island. I had a wonderful time there and would definitely come back!

I really enjoyed my time at the farm where the horses and other animals are treated with so much respect and care. The work is mucking out, feeding and giving water to the horses etc.. It is physically hard work but very rewarding. Food is super delicious. The living area is rustic and simple. At the farm you will have alot of time to think and reflect and in the freetime you can go to the beach, go to the taverna, go to the church and go on walks. I stayed for 7 weeks but could have stayed longer. Elin

I stayed at the farm with Amanda and Stathis for 2 weeks to put up a fence. Overall was an amazing opportunity to truly experience the local day to day. It is obvious that these animals are cared for at the highest possible level and they are always at the forefront of the farm's decisions. I felt the experience was advertised well and didn't have any surprises with accommodations. If you are comfortable in the elements and enjoy nature than this will be a perfect fit!

I had a wonderful time at Amanda's! the ponies (and the other animals) are more than well cared for, you can really see that Amanda and Stathis are real animal lovers & have dedicated their life to this project, very inspiring! not only their animals are treated with respect, but it's the same with us volunteers, I felt very welcome. the work is fair and easy but still important (e.g. mucking out, filling up waters). unfortunately, i injured my ankle and decided to leave to get treatment (I've had problems with this before, so i had to be careful). Amanda was very understanding & supportive:)

My time at Amanda's and Stathis' is incredible! I extended my stay and I'm still here, enjoying great company and the island's and farm's calmness. Amanda and Stathis are genuinely nice people, treat their volunteers with a lot of respect and don't let you feel exploited at any time. The work is meaningful and quite easy. It's majorly about mucking out the fields, but also common farm jobs (e.g. weeding, pruning). Volunteers share a room, which is basic, but has everything one needs and it's really enjoyable when you get along with your roommates :). Good+enough food is provided! Go there!

This is a place where animals have the best care and where their needs come first. Amanda ( the owner with her partner Stathis ) will tell you exactly and precisely how you can work. You can always ask questions to other.s volunteers. The farmers are very dedicated to their farm and work hard at it. You'll feel very fast if you can be part of it. The meals are very tasty. The volunteer's room is rustic and cosy. The village is 15min in car, you can get a cab or hitchhike, the greek people are very welcoming and kind. There is a beautiful beach, a nice taverna,...a wide view on the sky..

I enjoyed the experience. Its the kind of place were you go to get away from everything. The life in the farm is not easy, but is real and the project is honest. The horses are really good cared.
