The Experience

Such a good experience in the farm !! The place is incredible, in the middle of a green paradise in the mountains. The work consists mostly to take care of the horses : give food, move them in fields... and to help José and Rodrigo in the domestication task of young horses. A dream experience for all the nature and horses lovers !!

La experiencia fue buena. El trabajo es sobre todo recoger a los caballos de los campos y llevarlos al cerco para alimentarlos y segun los requerimientos particulares de cada caballo trabajar con ellos. El trabajo no es del todo duro pero si conviene que estés en buena forma, ya que se puede volver duro dependiendo de las condiciones meteorológicas . Respecto a las comidas, mejor ir provisto de ella, al menos al principio, puesto que la finca se encuentra bastante apartada. Después José y Verónica no tienen problema en compartir siempre que se aporte algo y se ayude a cocinar.
