  Descripción

  The farm is devoted to milk production. As a hobby we do horse back riding, cross country, jumping and dressage. Therefore, we started breeding horses. About 400 hectares (1000 acres with mountains a valley a small river and two small lakes). We love yoga, we offer free of charge yoga lessons twice a week.
  
  We also stand stallions at stud. Our farm is known for it's friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We need volunteers who are very confident around young horses of several breeds and ages; riders get priority. There will be opportunities to ride and learn natural horsemanship. We would prefer somebody who is looking to stay for a couple of months. Understanding horses is extremely important for us. However, milk production is what pays the bills, so other tasks to help are available as well if you are not a horse fan or if you feel that your expertise is not enough.
  
  We love the peaceful countryside. We are fond of easygoing people who love the simple things of life.
