Dear Mike, thank you for your review. We asked you on your first day if you were open to working full days. You said yes, ergo you worked full days. We would never force anyone to work full days, as we know it’s a lot of hard work. Full days are also not 10 hours, but from 8-12 and 2-6 which makes 8 hours *if* you choose to work full days.
Feeding at 5:30AM is on a rotation of at least 3 people. We specifically „warn“ about physical work in our description and we don’t know of any other hosts that explicitly praise slow work. You mentioning this just shines a very clear light on your work ethic and attitude. You being scared of bigger horses also did not help, although our team tried to show you how to safely interact with them and take your fear.
Personal attacks to our team are completely unnecessary for a WP review. We told you and actually agreed on multiple full days off with you, in which you would have had plenty of time to explore nearby cities. Yes, during full working days, city-trips are a little bit long but that is why we invite the volunteers to approach us whenever they want off days so we can make sure everyone is happy. We wish you all the best on your travels! Team JK
