The care of our horses is a priority for us
The experience
We are looking for World Packers volunteers who want to learn horse handling, skills such as grooms, and equine husbandry based on the concept of rational and non-violent training. For us, the care of our horses, which are our partners in educational and therapeutic activities, is very important. Our philosophy is to care for their physical and mental well-being with excellence. Our supervisor is a veterinary student.
