Program Details
My company has a stable of racehorses that compete in racetracks, endurance events, and some in the Palio of Siena. Those who join us will have the opportunity to learn horse management and riding in close contact. Additionally, we offer an educational program with various farm animals that need daily care. During the summer, we also host workshops for children with different activities and excursions.The main activity is to clean the horse boxes in the stable and move the various horses during the day to the outside paddocks, feed the horses outside and check the waters
Activities & Shift
Care of the horses, riding either with a saddle or bareback, and tending to the farm animals. The daily work typically takes around 5 hours, except for occasional extra tasks, which are always part of life in the countryside.
Rules
Respect for all animals and the surrounding environment.
