I stayed on the farm as volunteer for the second time this year in the beginning of August. I didn't regret coming back to the farm, everything developed so well! First of all Michelle organized an amazing house were the volunteers could live, we had a lot of privacy at our house, but could come over at the farm anytime and, the best thing, swim in the pool when there were no guests or go to the pond which is beautiful.

I volunteered to take care of the horses and help at the stables, the same thing I did in 2019. Melanie is now managing the stables and is doing an amazing job. The horses have developed so well, they are all well behaved and seem to have fun working with humans. Melanie can teach you a lot about horsemanship and groundwork but she's also always up for a hack outside or for a swim in the pond with the horses. All of these activities were part of the 'work' so it was definitely more fun than any hard tasks. Of course, we also helped for example with the feeding, poo picking in the field and the mucking out stables, but this only took about two to three hours of the day, and the rest was filled with fun things as I told above.

All in all, I would recommend the farm to anyone who likes volunteering around horses or also in the kitchen or in the garden, as everyone is so friendly, and you can have a great time at an amazing place with amazing people. I will definitely come back again 🙂
