It depends on the month.
  
  Clean the caravan where you live and the bathroom and shower once a week
  
  We have 4 horses (2 horses and 2 ponies) now. And one dog, Nala. Horses can't be ridden because they are old an we use them only for therapy.
  Volunteers help with only non-profit tasks and only with the animals that are part of the association
  We expect for a dynamic person, optimistic, no alcohol allowed while working, responsible and with respect for the others.
  
  To pick up the wheelbarrows you need strength, if you are not physically well, perhaps this is not your place. If you come from horses world you Know what I mean adn probably for a person from horses worls that is nothing.
  
  Alicante is quite hot in summer from June to September, so ready too for the hot weather.
  
  We´ll provide three meals a day or the ingredients for you to cook them, in case you prefer to help only 3 hours/ day 5 days a week only for the accommodation. We can talk about it
  You never sleep alone on the farm, there's always someone in the other caravan .
  
  If the association offers workshops for your age or profile, you can participate as an attendee (for free) enjoy them along with the association's other activities making friends and our culture. We'll let you know. There are months with less activity like july and August because of the weather so maybe at this time there are less activities and parto of the team is on holidays. You must be sure that that fits you because weather is really hot in summer. Thanks
