Program Details

Our project combines social impact and animal care, offering therapy through deep connection between children and horses. We work alongside two trained therapists and are looking for a kind and proactive person to help with:

Feeding & cleaning the horses

Light training (bitless, saddle-free style)

Supporting therapy sessions

Maintaining a calm and respectful environment for both animals and children

We donโ€™t use bridles or saddles โ€” our approach is all about freedom, trust, and emotional connection ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ซ

You'll have plenty of free time to surf, explore, or rest, and weโ€™re always open to new ideas to improve what we do. It's a beautiful place to grow, connect, and give back.
