Description
We have a very relaxed riding center about 50 minutes out of Madrid, we focus on horse therapy and riding in the nearby mountains. About 20 horses, our two dogs, hens and a pony complete our family. We are looking for help with looking after our horses and with the general upkeep of the farm.
We also appreciate help with social networks!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Our center is environmentally sound, no competitiveness (we don't take our horses and students to any competitions) focus on teamwork, respect for animals, nature and each other. Our horse therapy team is applying really innovative methods, and our restaurant can give workawayers a chance to learn about Spanish cooking, and share their own knowledge.

Aide
We are looking for a person good with horses and a good level of riding experience. He or she should also manage with Spanish at least on a basic level. We also need help with the general upkeep of the farm, so wood building, general maintenance skills would also be great.
We are looking for somebody to help us in the stables, working our hoses, with groups of children who come in the mornings, riding camps... Once some knowledge of the area is gained, the person should be willing to take small groups out for routes.

This was the best first workaway experience I could've chosen! I was still saving up so I could travel abroad when I stumbled onto this opportunity. Since I lived not too far away, it looked like a great chance to give the workaway experience a test run, and it did not dissapoint. Both Anas are wonderful, lovely people who made me feel welcome… read more

Initially my plan was to stay for one and a half months, but after falling in love with this place I ended up spending more than two and a half wonderful months here. The finca is a truly magical place with a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where everyone is well cared for, creating a paradise for horses and riders alike.

Me quedé exactamente un mes en la finca. La finca está rodeada del parque Nacional Cuenca alta Manzanares.

I spent about 6 weeks at the finca in september/october this year and I had an amazing time. After a little rocky adjustment period at the beginning (mainly due to the language barrier and cultural understanding) it was great living and working there. I loved how natural and positive everything was.

It was great to have Ricardo with us for a short stay. We normally dont have workawayers over for short stays as with 23 horses it takes some time just learning their names, but Ricardo fit in well from the start and did all he could to help. He is friendly and easy to get along with.

It was my first workaway experience and I could not have asked for a better one! I've spent almost a month at the finca this summer. People who work there and people who visit the place were very polite and comfortable. I was happy working with animals while I enjoyed the nature.
Thanks for everything!

Hi! it has been a pleasure to have Conny around;)
She is really great with the horses (Merlin misses her dearly;) as well as with the kids, hens and dogs. We also recommend Conny for her commitment and responsibility. We hope at least for a visit she will be back soon.
Thanks for the good work, Conny and good luck!
