I really enjoyed my time on Sylvia’s farm. It was what I was looking for- hard work, time outdoors and fun with other volunteers.

I really enjoyed my stay at farm! as i didn't have any experience with horses, i'm very grateful to Sylvia for teaching me everything from the start! the work isn't hard and meets the agreed hours (it is only devided into shorter sections through the whole day). Sylvia cooked very good meals and made sure we had everything we needed. I was there during rainy winter, so there were less riding opportunities, but i had few and i really enjoyed them! so if you want to experience true horse farm life, this place is right for you!

I had a great time at the farm. You work with the horses everyday and from time to time have some very good riding lessons. You have a lot of free time, which is nice but can sometimes lead to boredom. I would recommend to bring a friend so the work is easier and faster and you don't get too bored.

PLEASE READ !
I stayed here for 5 weeks and it was the most mentally challenging 5 weeks of my life. Silvia the boss is one of the most manipulative, rude, selfish, racist, ignorant and evil people I have ever met in my whole life. The full time I stayed I watched 5 people come and leave the yard because she either bullied them so much or the accommodation was unsuitable for them. Speaking of the accommodation this is definitely not a safe place to live with no locks on the doors, mould growing on the walls, spiders and dust everywhere. It was disgusting and I never felt safe.

a difficult experience for all of us
she did not want to stay but was forced by feelings! Whining about everything, she forgot to get up in the morning, she put the mobile home in an incredibly dirty state that drove others away. (if everyone takes care of it, it is quite comfortable) Trash and dirty dishes in the cupboards, dirty laundry everywhere, horse manure in the toilets... 5 hours of cleaning on her departure, there was plenty to be angry about! But the following ones reconciled us with them

I got what I had wanted out of this experience which was to work hard, learn what it takes to maintain a farm, and meet new people. It was great to get on a horse again! Important to note- Do not volunteer here if you aren't prepared for hard work and doing things in a way you aren't accustomed to. Also, you must have a flexible schedule because meals/tasks aren't always same time and there's lots of waiting around. Overall, this can be a good experience if you come with the right expectations and are interested in immersing yourself in a new place. Better to have a basic knowledge of horses
