I couldn't have chosen better! It was a great month with Alison, Wolfi, and the rest of the team. You really feel at home, they all become your family. The place is lovely, comfortable, close to the city, walking distance, and everybody speak english. Wolfi and Alison are very respectful with the schedule, they tell you perfectly what to do and when, and they even take you to competitions to help, if you are an experienced rider, they let you ride the horses, and you are given 3 days off in a row so you can travel to other cities and stay there overnight! I will surely go back!🥰

I had a really lovely time at the farm, Alison and Wolfgang were lovely hosts. The work was pretty straightforward but still hard work (preparing the horses, taking them out to the field, sweeping the horse walker, and cleaning tack, with more random jobs when needed. I Definitely recommend having experience. Will say there's quite a lot of time where you have to keep yourself busy when you're waiting for Wolfgang, but it's not a problem. You get 3 days off a week, which allowed me to travel to other surrounding cities. I definitely recommend getting the Deutschland Ticket!!!

Had a really nice time staying in the farm! Everything went how agreed and hours were respected and even when working a bit longer days, it was compensated so it was fair as a volunteer🙂 would definitely recommend to come here if you have experience with horses. the work is really easy to do if you know about being with horses beforehand! all of the horses were most of the time calm and kind for their age. accomodation was also good! The location is a bit out of the grid, but I found it really easy to go to other cities on my freetime. You should buy the deutschlandticket!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I would recommend it to anyone with horse experience! Wolfgang and Alison are kind, open, and caring hosts who truly want you to have a great experience both during work and your days off! I had a great time exploring Geisenfeld and Germany during my stay as well.
