I had a wonderful time with Benoit and Sylvie and I had such a full filling, productive experience while staying with them. They were very welcoming and pleasant my entire stay and I felt very comfortable and at home despite traveling so far. The work was, as expected, hard and challenging and there was a lot to do, but it was very fun and I learned a lot during my stay. Overall a lovely experience and I am very glad I stayed with them this summer as I could not think of a better way to spend my summer vacation. Truly, thank you for your hospitality and all the best in the future : )

The host is an experience. If you want to be fully exposed around horses and cats then this is the place for you. Riding some lovely young horses in a bonus. A little time to bike to surrounding towns including a medieval town which was very cool. Unfortunately, I only had 2 days off out of just under 4 weeks being there to do so. On multiple occasions I was spoken to quite disrespectfully and the communication overall wasn't the best. I appreciate the stay and lovely to meet some new people but a few improvements are needed for future volunteers.

Karis had one full day off per week, plus every Sunday afternoon!!
And I don't think we've ever disrespected him, just as we haven't disrespected any of the volunteers who have already worked with us...

I stayed for five weeks and loved my time here! I learnt a lot about horses in both riding and management. I was able to improve on my equestrian skills and French skills. The work was as expected for a show jumping yard but I felt as though I learnt a lot and enjoyed my time!

I had a great time with Benoît and Sylvie! Be prepared to work hard and fast but also to have the opportunity to experience and learn a lot while working and going to the shows. It was a fantastic way to immerse with local culture, listen and absorb all the knowledge Benoît and Sylvie were happy to share and help a local the host to make the most out of its potential:))
