    Description

    Who would like to spend a great summer, a few months or even a year on a riding farm with a horse riding club and a club for retired horses, two non-profit organisations?

    We are a farm and riding club in the north of Berlin near Rheinsberg, in the middle of nature on a beautiful old estate with its own farming activities, situated directly on a lake, with a total of 27 horses, and large grounds. Our community is very familiar, international and open-minded, with close cohesion and an active club life, with many children and young people, especially from Berlin. During the holidays, our riding club regularly organises summer horse riding camps. We also have a club for retired horses and a breeding community on our grounds. Our riding club and our club for retired horses are non-profit organisations.

    We are looking for someone who would like to spend the summer, a few weeks, months or a whole year with us as part of a voluntary social year. Lots of horse riding is guaranteed and accommodation on site can be provided!

    In addition, we have a well-equipped workshop on site where everything we need on the farm is built! Also, we do our own gardening projects.

    We are a family with four children and the whole project is co-led with our wonderful team on site, our horse riding teacher and our fabulous "Mr. can do it all" (carpentry, craftsmen, gardening, horses)! All of us have a passion for nature & horses .-)

    *update March 2025

    - we are currently looking for someone who is experienced in training/riding young horses and would be very happy if you would like to be part of the team!

    - we have one spot on offer for the so-called structured voluntary programm starting in August or September 2025 for six months or longer - including training days provided by the Regional Sports Association. It is a well-structured programme with lots of educational classes in between, free stay and pocket money. Ask us for more information if interested.

    Just get in touch!

    All the best,
    Kathi
