Thank you to the farm, Loris, Lorenzo and Gianpiero for the wonderful experience. I didn't had much expectations before coming, but the nature, the horses and the host were truly amazing. Most of the tasks for the volunteers is to lead the trail rides with the clients which is more fun than actual work. On our free time we went with Lorenzo to Siena or other pretty places near by. The landscape in Tuscany is truly a dream and I would always come back. Of course we had so many amazing pastas with the host and learned a few new recipes. Thank you for having me and hope to see you again

I wanted to do this experience to re connect with horses and I succeeded in that and so much more! My tasks were mostly leading trail rides and making photo+video content. the farm and her family have so much knowledge to share about their history and surroundings it is inspiring to hear their stories and see their passion. Giampiero provided us with an endless supply of goods from the vegetable garden:) the farm and Lorenzo were always happy to take us to experience new things which was lovely! Big thank you to all of you for making it a wonderful experience for me, I'll be missing it all!

The happiest I've ever been <3 and the farm, the horses and her family really helped with that! Most of the tasks are taking care of the horses and guiding clients on horseback which is stunning through the Toscan vineyards! the farm is really sweet and makes you feel right at home :) If you're a good rider and want to have an authentic Italian experience, I would totally recommend to come here :))

I had an unforgettable experience working with the farm at the MC Riding Club! From the very beginning, she made me feel incredibly welcome. She's a kind, energetic and open-minded person, always surrounded by great people, fun projects, and a warm atmosphere. The horses are exceptionally well cared for – calm, gentle, and beautifully trained – which makes every task enjoyable and rewarding. Most of the work is centered around them: feeding, grooming, cleaning, and spending time outdoors. This was my very first woofing experience, and I couldn't have hoped for a better one.

I'm afraid that I will never find any experience better than this one! the farm is the best and the sweetest person I have ever met! She and her family will welcome you into their home immediately and every now and then they will invite you to a lovely homecooked meal where you get to experience what a home really feels like! The horses are amazing and rides are easy and incredibly rewarding. The work around the stables is really easy and the work hours go by too fast. i really wish i could have stayed longer and i will come back. i recommend staying with the farm and her family in a heartbeat!
