    Description

    Our horse clinic is situated in White Carpathians mountains, in a small village on the hill. We create a retirement home for old sport horses, for horses that need special care after injury or disease, for horses in recovery or reconvalescence . In our clinic we use alternative treatments methods like homeopathy, Bach flower essences.. Horses live in open stabling. We have 3 horses, 3 ponies to look after, 4 goats, two dogs, cats and chickens.
    We are a non profit organisation.

    Iam single mother, i have 2 years old boy. He is very active, curious and no limits boy. He wants to help and try everything.
    And iam also dog trainer.

    Help

    We need help in many ways throughout the year. General maintenance work, building fences, gardening, stable work, cleaning paddocks, painting stables, work around house and animals. Preparing wood for winter. And help with little son - playing outside.

    Volunteer shoud be used to be responsible, standalone and like to help with animals specially with horses, goats and chickens. You do not need to be extra strong but fit and you need to enjoy working outside in all weathers. We prefer volunteers older than 20years old.

    Volunteer do not need experiences with horses, you only need to be not afraid of horses and want to learn more about them. Also we are not riding school. I can show you and teach you some joga streching for horses, positive reinforcement training and lot of more about training animals.
