It’s wonderful to hear from people who share our passion for animal welfare and sustainable living. We offer four distinct ways to stay and get involved on-site:
1. Force-Free Equine Sanctuary Assistant Programme (Fee-Based)
This is our most immersive educational programme, designed for those wanting a deep dive into horse behaviour and hands-on sanctuary management.
Includes: Shared accommodation (a private room may be available for a supplement), groceries for vegetarian meals, and 4–5 structured horse training sessions per week.
Focus: Force-free equine care, animal behaviour change, and sanctuary operations.
How to apply: Please fill out our Volunteer Placement Form which we can email you, just reach out at [email protected]
2. Sustainable Sanctuary Programme (Fee-Based)
Ideal for those interested in the "behind-the-scenes" of an eco-sanctuary.
Includes: Shared accommodation (a private room may be available for a supplement), groceries for vegetarian meals, and hands-on learning in sustainability.
Focus: Permaculture, off-grid living, and land management.
How to apply: Please fill out our Volunteer Placement Form which we can email you, just reach out at [email protected]
3. Group Experience Programme (Fee-Based)
A collaborative programme designed for groups of six or more friends, or organisations to experience the sanctuary together.
Includes: Shared accommodation (private room supplement may be available), and a structured schedule of group-based guided sanctuary tasks and learning sessions.
Focus: Permaculture, maintenance, land management, and force-free equine care and animal behaviour change.
How to apply: Please reach out directly with your group size and preferred dates so we can discuss a tailored itinerary.
4. Work-Exchange / Workaway (No Fee)
Includes: Shared accommodation in exchange for work needed (a private room may be available for a fee).
Focus: A cultural exchange in our small village and sanctuary. Typical help could be with household tasks, gardening, horse care, social media promotion, or childcare. This path does not automatically include horse training, though 2 sessions per week can be added in exchange for additional help hours.
How to apply: Please fill out our Volunteer Placement Form which we can email you just reach out at [email protected]
Important: Our Shared Living Space
As we live and work closely with animals, our shared volunteer accommodation and kitchen are strictly vegetarian and vegan. To respect the sanctuary ethos and your fellow volunteers, we ask that no meat products are brought into the shared living or cooking spaces (even if you are providing your own food on the Work-Exchange option).
Airport collection can be arranged.
Please get in touch to discuss how we can accommodate you on a stay that works for you and your budget! You will also find lots of helpful information on our website, linked below:
