  Description

  We are a horse farm situated just in the heart of Cappadocia. We own a little more than 20 horses.
  There are three people now working at the ranch: Hasan - head of the ranch. The generator of ideas and guarantee of our safety. Daria - constant volunteer. Keeper of our comfort and provider of good mood. Burhan - locally paid worker. A reliable shoulder to lean on.
  We speak Turkish, English, Ukrainian, Russian.
  We make regular tours as well as exclusive. We have already welcomed some volunteers during last years and it was super nice experience. We will be happy to share our special Cappadocian culture, teach you how to deal with horses, take care of them and of course to ride horses.

  Help

  When we host volunteers we kindly ask them to take care of horses - clean them and sometimes clean in their house, help to tack up and untack them for tours; going on tours together with rancho workers to help with horses and tourists. And doing any other help about the ranch as well as cleaning, cooking.

  Accommodation

  Now we moved to the summer cave house which is situated just at the ranch. This is Cappadocian traditional style. The cave includes 2 rooms (sleeping room and dining room+kitchen) and a shower room. There we have shower with hot water. Washing machine is also available.
  
  Usually volunteers and our worker cook breakfasts together.
  During day time if needed we can have lunches.
  And the most favourite meal is dinner. After the working day is the best time to relax in a company of friends who come to visit. Usually we have traditional home made food. But all volunteers' wishes will be taken into account

  What else ...

  Our volunteers should understand that this is not a hotel style stay. Working at the ranch can be hard physically, sometimes it is dirty, stinky… this is real country life.
  And we are ready to give you a room, food, shower also do private horse riding tours but in exchange for your work and help at the ranch.
  We don’t charge anything from our volunteers.
  In their free time they can easily travel around the most popular Cappadocian places as they are situated just near by and also watch the balloons fly right above our ranch.
