The Experience

We are looking for a couple or two friends who are interested in being in nature and helping to look after our herd of horses. The work is quite varied and involves all areas of horse care, riding, horse connection and yard duties as well as supporting our team with client sessions. Additionally we look to our helpers to support other duties such as gardening, maintenance and painting and operating our Horse box cafe from time to time.

I absolutely loved my stay, it is a truly incredible place, peaceful and relaxing. The hosts Anthony and Tam are wonderfully welcoming, warm and always there when you need them. Working with Joe was a real pleasure, she is kind, patient and very good at explaining things. In terms of activities, every day brought something new : from assisting during riding lessons and leading horses out for walks to grooming and yard duties. Some tasks are part of the daily routine but there is always something different going on . The cottage was perfect! Everything here makes you feel at home. Thank you !!

I truly enjoyed my time at the Center. Anthony and Tam are lovely people who always made sure that I was doing well and felt welcome. I also really enjoyed working with Joe, who you work alongside with during your working days. The work was enjoyable especially since the work could really vary from day to day. What I found most rewarding was working closely with the horses and building a bond with them. I got to learn so much more about horses because of this. Another part I really appreciated was meeting lots of different people through riding lessons and events. It made the experience

My experience as a volunteer at the Center was amazing. From day one, the treatment was very special—always kind, supportive, and fun. The owners, together with Anty and Sam, create a unique and welcoming energy. Being with the horses is truly grounding and brings physical and mental balance. The accommodation is very comfortable, like living in an apartment hotel. I will deeply miss the horses, especially River, Kiki, the loyal dog, and Peanut the cat, who all made the experience unforgettable.

I had an absolutely great experience at the Center! It fulfilled my dream of reconnecting with animals and nature in the beautiful countryside of England. The team was amazing and Ant & Tam were wonderful hosts, really kind, supportive and took me on great trips. The work was easy and well communicated, the horses and cats are very lovely. I'd love to come visit one day and couldn't have chosen better :) best wishes xx
