This was such an amazing experience I couldn't recommend it enough! Christina is the most amazing and hardworking soul and her property and her horses are absolutely amazing! The work is very routine with morning and evening chores and can spend the afternoons biking to the nearby lake, playing with sanji (amazing pup) or hanging out with the horses and foals! The farm is a short train ride from Berlin which has so so much to do and experience! Overall was such exciting experience where you can get the best of both worlds of nature and city life! Can't wait to come back one day!

Not enough words to describe my love, respect and admiration for Christina. Will carry this experience in my heart always! I planned to stay 3 wks an stayed for 6! The property is beautiful, and you have so much time to spend with the horses! You'll gain so much experience in the farm hand work. There are small babies to cuddle and bond with, and many chances to learn about beginning stages of training young horses. A swimming lake is a 10minute bike ride away, and Berlin is a 30min train ride which you can visit for two days a week. Amazing perks of the job. I'll miss Victor and Natasha also' 🥰

My stay at the farm with Christina was my first volunteering experience with WorldPackers and I absolutely loved it! Christina was always very kind and flexible (i have a remote part-time job and it was never a problem). I felt at home for the time I stayed there, the meals where always very nice and cozy and I will truly miss all the horses and of course Sanji (Christina's dog). I appreciated Christina's openness to communication and she always answered all my questions. I really recommend it!

This was my first time using Worldpackers, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience! I had such a great time working at the farm. Christina was incredibly supportive and patient with me, even though I didn't have much experience. We spent a lot of enjoyable time together, and I really appreciated her kindness. Her horses are all well-trained, and working with the foals was absolutely fantastic! The only downside was a small communication issue, but overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it if you are a hard worker and willing to learn more about the farm life

Christina is a wonderful woman!!! great teacher, friend, mama and so much more. I've had a great time at the farm, there is a lot to do, riding, ground working horses, training foals, bathing them, cleaning, feeding… such an educational experience!!! Christina answered all my questions without hesitation, even tho I ask a lot, she is always willing to help you and teach you. Great communication, always adapting to your needs and preferences, and making sure you feel comfortable anytime. I've had a lot of fun, we also go to the city and try different foods. Danke for everything 🩷🌸🥨
