The Experience

Our ranch offers horseback riding tours (guided tours) for tourists. You as a volunteer should be a skilled rider and be able to work everything that is related to horsemanship. These tours usually take place on the weekend during the winter so in the week there are other tasks, primarily feeding the animals, maintenance, and some small constructions (cleaning the trails, meadows, painting, etc.) while in spring/summer we ride almost every day.

My experience on the farm was beyond any expectations I could have. From the very beginning, everyone was so welcoming and made me feel at home, Elena and Toni are really amazing hosts. The work was always fun and never really felt like work. We had a lot of freedom in the way we decided to work with the horses but could always reach out if we needed help which was really enjoyable. I got to learn so much from Elena, Toni and all the other volunteers. the farm really is a special place, full of incredible people and horses that will make you never want to leave. Hvala and see you soon <3

I had an incredible experience volunteering! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home thanks to the warm welcome from Elena, Toni, and their family, who were always there for us and super friendly. Working with the horses was amazing: we got to ride, prepare them for tourists, lunge them, and engage in various enriching tasks. The board game evenings added a fun touch to this unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend this experience ! Thank you again ❤️

My time at the farm has been amazing! I felt quickly at home. Elena, Toni and their family make sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need. The work with the horses everyday is a lot of fun and you can chose to do projects you like on days when the weather is not that good. Thank you for all the wonderful experiences, trust and fun game nights! ♥️

I had a really good time during my stay here! The hosts were very welcoming and included us in their plans when they could. We got to work with and ride horses every day. Mostly training the young ones which was sometimes challenging but overall so much fun! The work was very reasonable and good to handle. I would definitely recommend coming here to everyone who gets the chance!! Thanks for everything the farm! 😃
