Volunteer with horses in the heart of Rural Andalucia

Volunteer opportunity with horses (shared via our FB community) – Cortijo El Indiviso is looking for a volunteer (or a couple) to help with horses on a small farm in the province of Cádiz, rural Andalucía. The hosts say most tasks are hands-on with the horses, so they want at least one experienced rider who can take initiative. Typical duties include helping with feeds, exercising horses (lunging, hacking, flatwork), assisting the stable manager with daily yard chores, joining hacks, helping with lessons, and doing a night check. The schedule is 5 to 7 hours per day, with two days off weekly. Basic food and a private studio are provided.
