The experience

The stable houses horses that need care. We focus on horse training, riding lessons, and equestrian shows, as well as falconry and fire juggling. A gym/training room is also available. We are in the countryside, so having a means of transportation or organizing with public transport is necessary to get around. Equestrian Center located between Cesena and Cesenatico, in the heart of Romagna, just a 10-minute drive from the sea and close to Rimini.

Program Details

Mainly, what we need is help with feeding and cleaning the horses, as well as some maintenance of the structural part of the center.

Activities & Shift

The work mainly consists of a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening, coinciding with feeding the horses. During the day, you can also assist with training and learn more about horses.

For volunteers who are interested in deepening their knowledge with horses and having specific lessons, such as horseback riding, training techniques, working with horses, or even juggling or falconry (including working with a falcon, as I practice falconry myself), there is a contribution of €10 per day. I also teach fire juggling.

We can also give a dicount for the others activities.

Rules

We primarily need physically healthy and responsible people. No alcohol and preferably non-smokers. It is not possible to accommodate pets.
