The Experience

Hi! We’re Kathi and Alex, both 43, and we’d love for YOU to join our small horse-loving team in the peaceful Austrian countryside! 🐎💚 We need a hand with cleaning stalls, feeding the horses, taking them to pasture, and keeping the barn area tidy. In the evenings, we usually share a cozy dinner and good conversations. If you love animals, nature, and cultural exchange, you’ll feel right at home! 🌄✨

This was my first experience with volunteering, and I couldn't have chosen a better one. The horses are incredibly kind and calm, just like all the other animals. At the beginning, it took me a little while to remember and learn everything, but it's nothing complicated. the farm is the most patient person I have ever met. She explained everything to us so well and helped with anything we needed. I will really miss those beautiful views, breathtaking sunsets, nature, and the lovely evenings we spent. Thank you for everything, the farm❤️

The experience was really good! the farm and Alex were really nice people and I felt like home. All the animals were super well educated and respectful and I could get along with all the other volunteers that were there with me. It's a really good opportunity if you want to be in touch with nature and also get to know the countryside of Austria as well.

La verdad que la experiencia es increíble, el lugar es hermoso y se puede disfrutar muchísimo. Es como un hogar, la granja es excelente, siempre está dispuesta a ayudar, es muy generosa, está dispuesta a enseñarte todo lo que necesites. Me sentí muy cómoda todo el tiempo, nunca tuve ningún inconveniente y de ser así seguro que se puede hablar porque la granja es súper flexible y siempre intenta hacer lo mejor para que todo esté bien. Los animales son lo mejor, no dan ningún trabajo, realmente es muy fácil interactuar con ellos también. Me siento agradecida por la experiencia.
