Flemingo

Volunteers should be capable horse riders, as this will maximise their experience. They will be able to enjoy the opportunity to experience Australian life on horseback in peaceful bush lands, viewing Australian wildlife such as goannas, echidnas, kookaburras, kangaroos, koalas ...
We have lots of horses available for your adventures on our miles and miles of tracks.
If you like cities and lots of people, then this is not for you. If you love nature and quiet then you are in the right place!
Please only apply if you can ride horses confidently ie know how to change leads and diagonals; can walk, trot and canter as a balanced rider. I am not in a position to "teach you how to ride". For those who can ride, I will teach you about the specialised field of equitation known as endurance riding.

Davo & I, are passionate about Arabian horses. Our hobby is to complete in endurance events and we love to share my hobby with other liked minded people. In exchange for help on the farm and/or in the home, you will be treated as one of the family. All lodging, internet and meals supplied. You will have your own bedroom in our home and join us in preparing and eating breakfast and the evening meal. We always start the day with a good Aussie breakfast consisting of bacon and eggs, along with a coffee. If we go somewhere, you are welcome to come along as well for the experience. We usually eat out once per month in Inverell and routinely travel to endurance events.

I spent one month with Clare and Davo and it was amazing. I was able to ride with confidence again after an accident, to improve my English and to connect with a lot of amazing Aussie. I 100% recommend this experience and I hope I will be back someday

My time with Clare and Davo was amazing! First needed a bit of time to adjust, but after that it felt like home away from home <3. It was sometimes hectical and hard work because it was the season of hay, but we worked it all out together as a team.

My stay at Flemingo 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, flemingo 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.
