Description
we are a friendly little family and have a ranch where we train horses in a very beautiful spot entering the "Sierra de Grazalema" in Andalucia with mountain view and closed to forests and attractive little villages. You can be around a wide range of animals. We have horses, dogs, cats and chicken but there are also curious cows, donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep etc. coming up to our fences as well as vultures and eagles flying over the area all the time.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
From here you can do a wide range of outdoor sports (hiking, climbing, paragliding etc.). It is a perfect spot to explore wild nature of Andalucia but close enough to enjoy its culture. Seville and Jerez as well as the beautiful beaches of the Costa de la Luz. Everything within approx. one hour distance by car. We speak German, Spanish and English and are pleased to give you advice where to go. And if you just want to stay here and be with yourself and nature, it is a perfect place, too.
Projects involving children

Help
We look for some help with every day work on the Ranch. Real Allrounders! Painting fences and buildings, watering plants, grease leather, cleaning the horse stables, feeding animals, cooking, help in the house and outside. You should feel comfortable around horses (if you have some experience would be a plus) and not be afraid to get your hands dirty.
