Luisa and Claudia were such wonderful and welcoming hosts! I had an amazing three weeks in Galicia — the food was great, the horses were sweet, and the other volunteers, along with Ella, made the experience really special. They took us on fun day trips to Portugal, local markets, parties, natural hot and cold springs, and of course plenty of lovely rides. There was always something to look forward to. They also have two really lovely dogs that I'm definitely going to miss. It's been such a warm and memorable experience — I'm sure I'll be back again!

I had an amazing time at the farm in Galicia. We did a lot of trail rides in the beautiful nature of Galicia which I enjoyed a lot. They also took us to so many different locations ( the rivers, beach, local markets…) The Family was always very caring and made sure we feel comfortable all the time. All the people i met there were so nice and fun I was very sad to leave after the month of my volunteer stay and I alteady miss all the people! I would also recommend this experience to people with no volunteer experience like me:)

I had the absolute best first solo travel experience ever and I would recommend it to anyone who loves horses, wants to meet new people and explore rural life!! The ambiance was very familiar, the work was fun everyday and luisa & claudia always made sure we lacked nothing <3 We also did lots of trips to other villages and hikes/trail rides in the beautiful nature. I will miss all the girls and the life in the village :c It was soo nice with yall I hope to see you again sometime!

I had a short but sweet experience & I absolutely recommend! Everyone is so welcoming, it seems like there is always wonderful group of girls & the trail rides were amazing! I love horses & wanted to learn more about caring for them/improve my riding- this was the perfect place! The location is definitely rural/out of the way so expect a long travel days but it is worth it for the experience and beauty of surrounding nature! The living quarters has its quirks/flaws but the family dedicates everything to the horses-inspiring! Overall a very chill and slow life to experience, with kind people!
