The Experience
We run a busy friendly equine training and livery yard based in the beautiful Shropshire hills. We require someone to muck in and muck out 😀 A huge variety of horses from serious competition horses who show jump, event and do pure dressage to youngsters and happy hackers. We do require a little experience but are happy to teach anyone wanting to expand their knowledge and expertise.

Andy and Terri are truly good people: Terri is full of love, and Andy really cares about the volunteers, spending time talking with them and cooking excellent meals. The daily work consists of taking care of the horses; the working hours are always respected, and the tasks are not heavy. A unique and unforgettable experience, we would recommend it!

Terri and Andy are very lovely people. The hourses are so amazing and friendly. The landscapes are spectacular and we have lived 20 days in the most peaceful way. The working hours are respected and the task are the same every day, with specific time for start working. I'm vegetarian and I had zero problem there, they were very kind cooking for me the same meals but with vegetarian options. The only problem you will find going at the home is that after this exeperience you will desire to buy a hourse!

I actually decided after staying one night that this placement wasn't the best for me. Having communicated with Terri in advance that I had some doubts but wanted to try.. it turned out to be more than I could manage..

That was absolutely great experience i had in the UK! Once you come, you just part of the family, you have cozy private room or a camper van. You have dinner with everybody in this house at night. You have chance to make friends with other international volunteers and immerse yourself in local culture as well. You can take direct train to Manchester in the town. What else can you expect?
