  Description

  We are a Horse Rescue Centre and Registered Charity based in rural Andalucia, approximately 40 minutes from Malaga Airport, The nearest shopping Centre is a 20 minute walk away, We currently have 10 horses under our care along with other rescued animals ; x4 dogs , x1 cat , free range chickens ,a goat, a pig, x3 ducks, finches, canary , budgy and a peacock , there are many abandoned animals in this area . The rescued horses have been starved, neglected and abused mentally as well as physically, each animal has a story to tell. Confidence and some experience with horses is essential , this type of work is not for the fainthearted or physically and mentally feeble ; often working in extreme weather conditions: heat , cold and sometimes floods ! Volunteers will be taught Cruelty -free Communication and Connection training with the horses which is part of the Rehabilitation programme , this can be a life changing experience for some students. Because of the amount of daily work,; animals, mucking out , maintenance and training involved we are only looking for long term stays , minimum 2/ 3 months.

I can only take one volunteer at any one time so do not be to disappointed if I am not always able to host you . I now have 10 rescue horses and my priority at the moment is to continue and advance our training and rehabilitation programme and so I need trainees with natural ability and confidence, we practise communication , connection and combination training , All the horses our free to roam around as a herd which is not a conventional stable yard set up. help requirements are ; Longer term 1/2 / 3 months for Volunteers with horse experience who are willing and able to learn our training methods., because of the present situation the priority is daily feeding , turning out , mucking out, putting out hay and water, also the horses not in training to benefit from grooming.

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
