This was my first experience working with horses, and it was nice learning about them and how to interact with them, so no previous knowledge is required. At the stable, most of the interactions regarding training and daily tasks were with Theresa. She is a very sweet person who tries to make sure that everything is going well with the volunteers. I really enjoyed working with her. Also most of the people working at the stable and the hotel are Germans, so it's a good place to practice the language. If you want to be in a quiet place and go for walks in the nature, this is a great option.

When I arrive I was with two Colombiens boys in the room and the bathroom wasn't clean. I didn't feel serene and comfortable with this experience.

If you're wondering where all the best volunteers went, it's here! Alongside the lovely horses, they made the work pleasurable and my stay a truly unforgettable experience. Arriving there was quite a challenge, though. Be sure to remind the host about your arrival and get somebody's phone number beforehand. Trust me! Be prepared to work at the hotel too, and when there're guests-to work under pressure. And in the winter, consider twice if you can stand cold dormitory! Most of the people are so heartwarmingly nice and helpful there, I felt very welcome to work the stables and in the kitchen!

The stay was wonderful, the Schulze family is super communicative and cares about how the volunteers are doing and if we are good or needing something. I felt very welcomed and cared for. I enjoyed the work and the tasks! Pros: Private environment for volunteers, contact with animals, suitable for relaxing, good food. The staff is amazing, I already miss them all! I was able to train and watch football matches, if you go to join I recommend bringing football boots. Tip: bring rainwear and waterproof shoes and please take good care of my horses! Cons: I had to leave
