Animal Care and Riding Experience with a German Couple

A volunteer exchange with horses – Hello, we are Gunter and Regina. We are a couple living on a farm with 14 horses close to Cologne. We had a girl helping us with the animals and we really enjoyed the experience. She is going back, and we have thought about repeating this exchange. We have an extra room and bathroom and the house is nice, with a beautiful terrace and a nice forest close to having walks with the dogs.
You could help us take care of the animals, (14 horses, 2 dogs) and enjoy riding.
If you are interested in blacksmith you can join Günter, if not Regina in her work as an animal-assisted therapist.
