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 international volunteering and this one was marvellous full of new things and a safe space where you can learn a lot if you are not used to farming or being in contact with animals and nature al the time so. The house is very cozy and the farm as well as Alex will make the best to make you feel very comfortable like part of their family so I encourage you to have this marvellous experience too!!

My time in the farm's home was great. She has a truly special place with amazing animal friends and beautiful nature surrounding the farm. the farm and Alex are both people with big hearts, very friendly, kind, caring and fun. the farm was open to driving us to places like the chocolate factory during our time off which was appreciated a lot.❤️ The work is straightforward and you can always ask if something is unclear. I really enjoyed working while being surrounded by horses and nature. :) Thank you the farm for an amazing experience. I hope to come back one day. 🥰🦄❤️✨

The farm and Alex are wonderful people. We had a great time at their place. The dogs are lovely and the horses are magnificent. Forest trails nearby to explore. the farm also cooks delicious meals sometimes. She is very caring, kind, helpful and I love her humour. We might come back as our experience was amazing.

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.
