Description
Our farm is a newly established association that cares for and adopt horses, donkeys and mules which are in poor condition. In addition, we are open to different species that sometimes need help, but horses are always our priority. Me and my 12 yo son are alone here, so we need support in all matters. I study veterinary technicians, do research on ethology, work with horses with peaceful and positive techniques other than classical equine training. There are works such as fencing, fence repair, construction works, simple care of animals, barn cleaning, planting and cooking. This is a vegetarian place. We have animals that have been saved from slaughter, and the idea of eating meat is heartbreaking. We expect understanding in this regard, we do not accept meat products to the farm.
Bathroom is old style, toilet is compost toilet.

Accommodation
Volunteers are staying in an old village house. It is not very comfortable but kitchen and bathroom is there. There is two rooms. One is big and for two person. Other is smaller. Volunteers can also stay in their own tent.
What else ...
Helpers can spend their time inside a village, they can go to centre by local transfer, on their free day, they can go to historical places for camping. This year I start to study veterinarian. I will be very busy about my online school but volunteers never be alone and I am sure can not get bored. I have son he is 11 years old and learning English. He likes to spend time with other people.
