This experience is designed for people who want to truly immerse themselves in the world of horses and ranch life in Mexico. More than following a rigid program, we aim that during their stay they become part of our community, learn, participate and take advantage of the different experiences that arise around the horses.
The experience includes two horseback rides per week around the surroundings of the ranch, in addition to opportunities to ride and continue developing their equestrian skills. Depending on the season, the horses available and the ranch activities, they may participate in **polo training, riding lessons, groundwork and leasing of new horses**, ground handling, grooming, bathing and general care of the horses.
We also seek to share part of the Mexican equestrian and rural culture. Throughout the year activities such as **jaripeos, lasso practice, horse events, special horseback rides and encounters with people from the local community** may arise. These activities depend on the season and we cannot always guarantee when they will happen, but they are part of the real life of the ranch and we want volunteers to be able to join when there is an opportunity.
Another part of the experience is to learn about the trades around the horse. They will have an introduction to **saddlery with the artist Han Reguero**, learn about the equipment we use, learn about its maintenance and better understand all the artisanal work that accompanies the equestrian tradition.
We want to create a **beautiful community of people passionate about horses**, where international volunteers, local people and our ranch team live together. It’s an opportunity to exchange cultures,
