What a delightful 2 weeks at the farm that flew by! If you're looking for being active in nature, connecting with horses/dogs/cats, and kind people and volunteers, all amongst a backdrop of beautiful countryside, don't hesitate to apply! My highlight was being with all the lovely people here --Luisa, Claudia, Ella, Tamara keep on rockin'! 😄Galloping trails, art, workouts, day trips, bbq, Chispa! There's so much heart in the running of the ranch and art/coworking space! Big thanks for showing me the ropes and including the volunteers in daily Galician life! Hope to be back soon 😁

I had a wonderful stay at the ranch! Claudia and Luisa make sure you have the best time during your stay and they do such important work with the horses. I absolutely enjoyed every moment with the horses and the trail rides were amazing! We also went on some great trips — like to Portugal and the hot springs. I got to know so many nice people in the nearby villages and felt so welcome everywhere. Just an amazing experience!!

I had a wonderful time in Galicia. Luisa and Claudia were very welcoming from the start, and I was able to quickly become part of the daily life on the ranch. The atmosphere is truly relaxed, and Luisa's cooking skills are amazing. We went on many great trail rides, and the trips to other towns and villages were such a great experience (our nighttime trip to Ourense will stay in my memory for a long time :D). I can recommend this volunteering position to everyone, and I already miss the wonderful people and animals there. Thank you for everything! 🫶🏻

Loved my experience with Luisa and the other volunteers a lot! I definitely had a fun time exploring the area, meeting locals and riding the horses. Luisa was the sweetest woman ever and always made sure the volunteers had a fun time!! Just when you book it make sure you know there's two locations of volunteers: one at the horse stable and one in a nearby village where you'll have more time for other things than horses. Thank you for everything 🥰

My stay in Bande was really nice and peaceful. I also got one riding lesson with the other volunteers. Luisa is really welcoming and tries her best to make you feel at home. If you're looking for a chill place and if you love the nature, than this is yours!!
