The work was manageable and not too demanding and there were opportunities every day to ride, even if you don't have a lot of experience.

Simona was a perfect workawayer! We miss her very much! She is fantastic with animals and is very calm and patient with nervous horses. Simona was happy to do all kinds of work and was extremely responsible with her daily chores. Simona uses initiative and if she isn't sure of something she will ask for help and learns new things super fast!… read more

The nature is perfect there is a lot to see and to explore. Also the animals are great, everyone is friendly and we liked to work with them.
Our work was nice, some daily stuff like feeding or cleaning and of course training with some horses,… read more

Marlene and Renee are very nice young people.
Renee had no horse skills but she learnt very fast how to look after and handle the horses and learnt to trot well in only a few days.
Marlene was a great help with the young horses, she is very calm and we trained a very difficult horse together.
I wish them both luck in the future and hope to… read more

Tamsin is very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our time staying at her Finca.
We had plenty of good food and the work was pleasant. We met some of her friends and felt included in her life there. The highlight was a hike she took us on in the mountains, where we visited 2 caves.
We were able to borrow a car to get to the local town which… read more
