My experience here working with the horses and ponies was amazing, I learned a lot about how to care for and feed them. Being here I got into a routine that made the hard work at times much more enjoyable, I never went hungry, I could enjoy the spectacular views every day and the best of all was the people, very patient in teaching you, very friendly and always willing to help you with your needs, I would definitely like to come back, but next time in summer hahaha.

This was a great first experience as a volunteer. Everyone is absolutely lovely and super understanding. Olga- the person you will be working the most with- is extremely helpful and very good at teaching you your tasks. I had a great time!

My volunteer experience at the farm in Connemara, Ireland, had its ups and downs. While the farm boasts impressive Connemara horses, there are areas that could use improvement.
The initial description promised cultural exchange and warm hospitality, but fell short in reality. Accommodation was basic, housed in an old container with issues like mold growth. Work tasks were repetitive, lacking variety. Moving forward, clearer communication and transparency with volunteers, along with upgrades to facilities, would enhance the experience. With dedication, the farm has the potential to become bette

The experience was good! If you go in the winter bring warm clothes! Everyone is very nice and the accommodation is comfortable. You must be okay with manual labour and being outdoors for most of the day!

This is a great place if you like working with horses, the landscape is beautiful and the ponies are great. If you plan on going there during winter, think about bringing warm and waterproof clothes (slippers might be a great idea for the house).
It's a physical job. Be sure to be motivated and efficient. Days can be very short, like very long depends on what needs to be done.
I had a great time there and had the opportunity to train a pony myself. Thank you for your trust and everything !
