Volunteers will be expected to be involved in the daily activities of the centre. Tasks may include: 

• Daily stable yard routine – feeding, brushing, medicals etc  
• Daily exercising of trail horses and warmbloods as well as riding lessons 
• Seasonal stud farm management 
• Assisting with community projects  
• Lending a hand at the adventure centre  
• General farm management  

Mornings will be spent feeding, grooming and turning out horses at one of the two stable yards, followed by breakfast. Most days will be filled with lessons and schooling of horses, outrides and various other horse related activities. Lunch will be followed by an hour of leisure time, and your afternoons will be filled with more horse related activities, adventure activities and community upliftment. There will be a few allocated days where you will spend some time with other departments of the farm learning about the specific department and perhaps even lending a hand (not compulsory). This will vary from agricultural work (e.g. herding sheep, goats and cattle) to assisting at the entertainment centre (e.g. maintaining trails, assisting with adventure activities and the wool project) and even resort work (e.g. fence patrol, assisting at events such as horse shows and doing trail rides with resort guests)

The average working day commences at 07h30 starting with the daily stable yard routine followed by a quick coffee and rusks break. Volunteers are advised to have breakfast before the work day commences. After the coffee break, volunteers will commence with ridden work, horsemanship sessions and general lessons at the yard. 

Please note that from time to time there can be unavoidable changes to projects. These can be caused by weather, conservation priorities, materials supply, or because ongoing projects have progressed more quickly or slowly than originally planned. We ask you to accept the changes – we are sure that you will enjoy the replacement projects just as much.
