The Experience

Hello, I am Kristina, and managing the account for the owner, Jinkyung. At the stable we take care of 33 horses and 1 goat. We need help with feeding them, cleaning the stables and doing other general maintenance tasks. You will help 4 hours in the morning from Tue to Sun and every second Monday you need to help too. (The hours differ in summer due to high temperatures) You shouldn't be afraid of horses and be prepared to do physical work.

The farm and her dedicated team are really hard-working people who works round the clock for horses. Main duties of volunteers include cleaning the farm stables, refilling water buckets and feeding horses. Mind you, it is tough labor work, but you will be rewarded with hearty local cuisine and a serene neighbourhood. I also got 1-2 the farm riding lessons per week when staff is free from chores and the farm-riding courses for local people. That said, if your main purpose is to meet other volunteers or have the farm riding classes every day, this is not something you should sign up for. the farm lover, go for it

From this experience you were able to try a lot of local Korean cuisine and be surrounded by the Korean language. The work load is as expected, ranging from filling waters and cleaning up poop. With a lovely hiking area with lots of gorgeous views, the nature here really is stunning. However if you don't speak Korean and there are no other volunteers, the experience can be quite lonely. If you like being by yourself a lot and want to improve your Korean, this is the right place to go.

This is a great experience for nature and animal lovers! I got the chance to ride and loved hanging out with the dogs every day. Jin Kyung is a soft-hearted person who clearly cares a lot about her animals and her volunteers. She always made sure I had everything I needed. The work was exactly as is described on the profile. I had basically no prior experience with this kind of work but the staff were happy to show me everything I needed to know!

I'm not going to lie it is very hard work, you have to love animals and it's mostly caring for them, not riding them. I got to help during school classes with the horses which was awesome and developed a very intimate relationship with the team. I learned a lot about Korean culture and cuisine. But this is not an experience if you are in Korea for sightseeing this is an experience to help animals and people and to really get to know the culture. If you're looking for a free ride, this is not the place.

I had an amazing time at the farm riding school. The team needs some time to warm up to you but then you have a new family! Everyone was so sweet and helpful, they really want to best for you. You have to be prepared to work hard, there is a lot to do and to learn! Besides working hard you have alot in return: amazing food, a lot of fun with everyone and a really local feeling. All in all a place that I will never forget ❤️
