Although I did not get to stay for the full month as I had intended due to personal reasons, Alison was very accommodating and supportive throughout my stay there. The horses are so lovely. I learned a lot from just a week working at the stable.

This was my first experience volunteering with Worldpackers and I could not have loved it more! It is definitely a great opportunity for those who have experience with horses and are looking to learn more. Everyone at the barn including the other volunteers was very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay so much that I extended my time there. I learned a lot during my stay, thank you Alison and Wolfie!

This was my first time ever away from my Home, and could have been more pleasant. The work is hard, and how much you know about horses, the better. You can go easy by train to Munchen, and from there the world is the limit. Thank you Alisson and Wolfie, all the best for you in your lifes!

I had a wonderful time at Reitenlage the farm. This experience really opened my eyes to the professional side of working with horses. Meeting the nicest people who had been in the industry their whole life,meant I gained a worthy and memorable experience. Alison and Woolfie (plus all the other wonderful boarders and Emilia) really couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. I had an abrupt end to my time at the stay due to personal matters and the team there couldn't have been more supportive of me and my situation. it's a unique experience with unique people. go for it!

I have an incredible time with Wolfi and Alison. They are extraordinary people, always friendly, respectful and open to talk, from whom you can learn a lot The stable is perfectly located, surrounded by nature and very close to town. The horses are adorable and the work environment is quiet and relaxed. I had the opportunity to meet great people. Everyone was kind, friendly and always offering help The whole experience was wonderful! I strongly recommend it to anyone looking to spend time with horses, fabulous landscapes and what's more, with good people Hope to see them again.Best wishes!
