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.

And doing any other help about the ranch as well as cleaning, cooking.

Hébergement
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
Autres infos...
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.

Laissé par le workawayer (Ibuki) pour l'hôte

I had the best experience in Cappadocia. It was my first time horse riding here. I was a little nervous but it was a lot of fun. I took a tour and watched the hot air balloons every morning. It was a very beautiful view. I probably won't forget that view.
Daria is very kind and supports my comfortable space. She is very kind. The people I live… read more

My stay at the farm was kind of last minute organization and I spent just 4 days there. It was an interesting experience.
In the description, when they write they moved to a cave at the ranch, they really mean a cave in the sense of an underground house, not a semi opened house like many houses in Cappadocia. I was really surprised as I saw the… read more

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who works and participates in the horse ranch in Cappadocia, Turkey. I want to highlight the good intentions of each of them (even though there were some initial differences).Volunteering at the ranch allows you to experience local life while also enjoying the beautiful tourist attractions in the… read more area.

>>Daria, the permanent volunteer, is in charge of keeping in touch with the volunteers. She is always willing to offer alternatives and make sure you feel comfortable, even though her time is limited due to other activities outside the ranch.>>Burhan, the permanent worker, has a lot of experience with horses and is very calm and friendly.>>Hasan and his family are the owners of the ranch. He oversees many of the activities and was respectful and understood some of my requests after the first few nights so I could rest better, which I appreciate.>>Ramazam also helps at the ranch. He is also calm and always smiling, which is a pleasure.

There were some initial differences that I attribute to cultural differences. We talked about it and, as the days went by, we managed to avoid them happening again. The guys made an effort not to make me uncomfortable (for example, not smoking indoors when I was present, providing me with a smoke-free place to rest and sleep, and respecting sleep schedules).

The main help involves assisting with horseback excursions for tourists, but there are many ways to collaborate at the ranch. I think the assignment of tasks to volunteers could be structured differently so that the volunteer is clear about the tasks they can fulfill, benefiting the ranch more and ensuring that both parties feel there is a fair exchange.

After a few days, I started feeling a strong pain in my back, which limited my activities. I never felt pressured by any of them despite my physical limitations (I hope I met expectations in terms of how I could collaborate).

The cave house located on the ranch in Goreme seems ideal if it can be adapted for volunteers to stay there. For example, it would allow them to easily move around in their free time. It has a bathroom and a kitchen, allowing volunteers to cook their own meals (taking this responsibility off the other workers at the place).

Overall, I can recommend to everyone visiting this area to participate in the activities at the ranch. If you are willing to help out, understand that it's not a hotel, don't mind having horse hair around you, living in a cave house, and understand that ranch life is different from life in other places. I wish you all the best in the future and hope to stay in touch and come back at some point to visit. Pura vida!
