The month I spent at Tom and Theresa's place was a great experience in which I learned a lot. The place for the volounteer is nice, cozy and have everything you need thanks to the care of Theresa and Tom, who are fantastic hosts; the work is not too hard and I learned a lot about racing from it. The thing I'll cherish the most are all the amazing memories I made, both with the horses - like the incredible rides at the beach - and with the other lovely volouteers, who I can now call friends. I highly reccomend applying, it was an unforgettable experience and I'd love to come back!

I have had 3 absolutely fantastic weeks with Tom and Theresa. The horses are super lovely and we spent almost every day in the saddle. The highlight was when Tom took us and the horses to the beach to train which is an experience I will never forget, absolutely breathtaking. Tom and Theresa are very welcoming and helpful and I have met so many new friends from different places in the world during these weeks. I would really recommend coming here if you have a passion for horses, meet new friends and experience Ireland's fantastic landscapes.

I spent an amazing month with Tom and Theresa, who are incredible hosts. The place is truly charming; I stayed in one of the cozy cabins, which felt very comfortable and welcoming. The work is quite manageable, I learned so much about racehorses. Everyday we did different activities: we went riding at the track or on the beach, then bathed them in the pool, and returned home. Thanks to the fact that they host several volunteers, I also had the chance to meet many lovely guys who share a passion for horses. It was an unforgettable experienced, and I highly recommend it! I'll definitely be back!

I've spent a month in Tom and Theresa's place and I had such a great time ! The horse farm is a very peaceful place where I enjoyed spending time with others volunteers (cooking together, getting to know each others, enjoying the warmth of the sauna…) I definitely recommend staying at the horse farm if you want to spend some time in the countryside, connect with people from all around the world while staying in a confortable environment where you will be well taken care of. Note that you can easily bike to the beach and discover new areas around when you feel like it ;)
