Program Details
Unlimited food from our storages and basic accommodation is provided, in exchange for 25 hours work per week and a couple of hours working towards the community. It’s rustic & basic but comfortable and we provide everything you may need for the duration of your stay.
We cook most of our meals together, have a cleaning rota as a community and everyone is encouraged to take part and do their bit! To really enjoy the experience here you must be happy to live in a very modest and sustainable way.
This is not a place for modern comforts or parties, this is a place to connect back to basics and nature.
Activities & Shift
feeding horses, picking up poo, cleaning feet and over seeing that they are all ok.
Rules
Be experienced or open minded to positive reinforcement way of training and very different lifestyles for horses. We do not have grass, big paddocks and easy access to all vet supplies. It is a different world with challenging animal welfare, which is why we are here to work as a team and bring these animals a better life. So it would not be suitable for people who are not open to different ways and "making the most of what we have".
