The Experience

Our main focus is horse care and helping with daily ranch activities. Volunteers mostly assist with feeding, grooming the horses, cleaning and maintaining the stables, preparing equipment, leading short trail rides, and helping during activities with visitors. They can also help with general ranch maintenance, outdoor projects, events, and organizing activities around the club. Life at Cokorska Polja is simple and connected with nature.

I had a wonderful time here and met incredibly great people! Everyone at the club is really nice, and working with the horses was fun too. My main tasks were guiding guests on trails, leading rounds in the arena, and preparing the horses for riding lessons. We slept in an apartment on the grounds. We were able to ride everyday in the arena or on trail. I’d recommend this experience more to people who speak Serbian, since communicating in English was a bit difficult at times. I’d definitely recommend this experience for everyone who loves horses and riding! I'd definitely like to come back :)

My time here was really special. I learnt a lot about the culture and the people at the club are so kind and lovely. The landscape is stunning and the workload is more than fair. As an English speaker it was difficult to communicate because I had little understanding of Serbian. The language barrier was definitely a challenge. I think some organisation and planning could be better. But I would absolutely recommend this experience to someone who loves and rides horses. I would love to go back one day and visit the lovely people I met.

I had a wonderful time here! The place is beautiful, everyone is very kind and you always have everything you need. There are lots of opportunities to ride and spend time with horses and other animals. I enjoyed meeting other volunteers from different parts of the world. Tasks are not hard, I mostly really enjoyed them. There is a lot of time to chill and relax. The only thing I have to say is that the organisation and communication could be improved, as things were sometimes unclear or last-minute. Overall, I had a great experience and I'm already thinking about coming back! ❤️

I absolutely enjoyed my time here!!! The work is very relaxed and straightforward. The landscape is beautiful. The people are very welcoming and kind. You get a lot of free time, and every day looks a little different which is nice. The best part is the amount of time you get to spend with the horses and the other animals roaming around. I would definitely come back!!

Had an interesting and unforgettable experience! The club has beautiful landscape, friendly staff, the work is quite easy and there is lots of time to relax and ride!! The downsides are there were major communication challenges due to last minute changes in schedule and language barrier! We also didn't get to go explore the town as advertised. I would also recommend being a confident rider even though it is suggested it isn’t necessary! Overall had an amazing, unforgettable time and made life long friends and memories!! I would definitely recommend this gig if you love horses!
