Ride and therapy horse lessons in a Reserve of biosphere

Reino Unido

This was a great experience; the work was easy, mainly feeding the horses morning and night, with the occasional help during kids lessons. Riding through the mountains was magical and my highlight, alongside dog walks, hot springs, and the peaceful setting. The house is cozy with good facilities, though cold and not soundproof, so bring warm clothes and earplugs. While the horses and healthy and happy, i did witness moments of impatience, rough handling, and students using harsh aids without correction, all of which did not align with my values. It's a beautiful place i will miss!!

My experience at the farm was nothing short of amazing! Claudia and Luisa are very funny and made me feel right at home. The work was very easy, and there was well enough time to relax. I loved going to the restaurant, on walks, at the springs and spending time with everyone (and the animals ofc). Hope to be back soon !!

My stay at the farm was absolutely perfect, I felt at home right from the start ! I loved Luisa's cooking, going karting with Ella, screaming in the car with Claudia and bond with the others volunteers. The horses, dogs and cat were so lovely and I miss them already. Galloping in the nature and taking the dogs on hikes were my favorite activities. Thank you to these wonderful people for making the last month and an half a blast ! I can't wait to come back :)

What a delightful 2 weeks at the farm that flew by! If you're looking for being active in nature, connecting with horses/dogs/cats, and kind people and volunteers, all amongst a backdrop of beautiful countryside, don't hesitate to apply! My highlight was being with all the lovely people here --Luisa, Claudia, Ella, Tamara keep on rockin'! 😄Galloping trails, art, workouts, day trips, bbq, Chispa! There's so much heart in the running of the ranch and art/coworking space! Big thanks for showing me the ropes and including the volunteers in daily Galician life! Hope to be back soon 😁

I had a wonderful stay at the ranch! Claudia and Luisa make sure you have the best time during your stay and they do such important work with the horses. I absolutely enjoyed every moment with the horses and the trail rides were amazing! We also went on some great trips — like to Portugal and the hot springs. I got to know so many nice people in the nearby villages and felt so welcome everywhere. Just an amazing experience!!

I had a wonderful time in Galicia. Luisa and Claudia were very welcoming from the start, and I was able to quickly become part of the daily life on the ranch. The atmosphere is truly relaxed, and Luisa's cooking skills are amazing. We went on many great trail rides, and the trips to other towns and villages were such a great experience (our nighttime trip to Ourense will stay in my memory for a long time :D). I can recommend this volunteering position to everyone, and I already miss the wonderful people and animals there. Thank you for everything! 🫶🏻

Loved my experience with Luisa and the other volunteers a lot! I definitely had a fun time exploring the area, meeting locals and riding the horses. Luisa was the sweetest woman ever and always made sure the volunteers had a fun time!! Just when you book it make sure you know there's two locations of volunteers: one at the horse stable and one in a nearby village where you'll have more time for other things than horses. Thank you for everything 🥰

My stay in Bande was really nice and peaceful. I also got one riding lesson with the other volunteers. Luisa is really welcoming and tries her best to make you feel at home. If you're looking for a chill place and if you love the nature, than this is yours!!

This was my first woldpacker experience and it was such a perfect experience! We rode the horses a few times a week with beautiful views and sunsets, the horses are very well taken care of and you can see how happy they are. We had so many day trips and I already miss claudia, luisa, the 2 crazy dogs and the loud cat.

I had a lovely experience in Bande. This location is a bus ride away from the horses so the work was mainly maintaining the house in Bande which was more flexible and creative. If you'd like more work with the horses apply to the other location!
