My stay at the farm was superb. At first there was a lot of information to remember and I made many mistakes, but Clare and Davo are really understanding and patient. I got to ride their beautiful horses, I even got to do my first 40km ride! Thanks to them I meet so many new people, learnt so much not only about horses, but about life, Australia etc. If you are crazy about horses, you love to ride, adore beautiful sunsets and want to experience an amazing adventure, the farm is the perfect place 😍

My experience at flamengo was amazing! This volunteering opportunity has no downside, the work I did was not hard at all, the accommodation is very comforatable, Clare, Davo and all the riders who visit are super friendly, the horses are amazing and you get the chance to try endurance riding as a lifestyle! In the beginning it is a lot of information to learn and I was quite overwhelmed, but luckily there was another backpacker there to help me get started! I loved the everyday life riding, taking care of horses, visiting competitions and embracing a quiet lifestyle in rural australia.

I had the chance to be a part of Clare and Davo's world during one month. They live in a really cute house surrounded by their nice horses which are in amazing conditions. At first my head was full of information and I needed one week of adaptation. I rode at least once everyday between kangaroos and amazing sunset. Thanks to Clare I was able to realize my first endurance competition with a young horse. If you like peaceful place, horses and give a helping hand in the house and garden this exchange is for you ! Thank you for Clare and Davo for the welcoming and the kindness.

Fleming was an incredible experience. Clare and Davo were very kind. They live in a peaceful place. Their horses are adorable and beautiful. It's a real paradise. At first it was difficult because I didn't know the English equestrian vocabulary, but I was able to learn lots of new words. I improved my English and gardening skills 😄 I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves horses. Clare prepares great meals in the evening and Davo a great breakfast. Thanks Clare and Davo for your hospitality. I will never forget my experience with you. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for being the people you are and for welcoming me so well, I felt at home. the farm paradise will always be with me.
