Sarah and Ali, thank you for a great time. We are very proud to be your first Working Holiday guests!! You both made us feel very welcome. The horses are wonderful, so wellbehaved and fun to ride. We dont want to go home but hope to be back soon. Thank you again.

Nb. Beth and Dan have now stayed for 4 working holidays, and bought one of the horses, Moreno!!

Thanks so much for an absolutely fantastic time! Everyone was so relaxed and friendly, this experience was everything I had hoped for and more. For fear of a rather generic message, I'll leave a few of my most funny/significant moments: being chased by the geese and taking the best part of the first week to pluck up the courage to chase them back! Falling down the mountain (various times) due to lack of grip on my riding boots.

Spending ages putting rubber rings on Vale's bit, looking proudly at the finished result ... and realising with horror I'd re-attached the bit upside down. And finally I guess it's got to be jumping Vale over your sofa! I cant believe its time to go home already, I'd watch out though, there's a rather high chance I'll be coming back.

Thank you once again for everything!

Thank you so much for the fantastic two weeks I have spent with you. I really cant put into words how much I have enjoyed myself. I suspect we shall keep in contact via email, as I intend to try my very hardest to fit in another visit this year! In the meantime I wish you all the very best with the horses.

After only a week up here I already feel very attached to the horses and know that I will miss them a lot. Drago with his great personality, Bruno who is such a sweetheart and perfect when I want to take pictures from horseback. Lessons and jumping with Ela was also a lot of fun. I hope to do it again!! It's amazing how fast a week goes by...

I cant believe the time I was supposed to spend here, up in the moutains, far away from everything else is already over. The time just flew by!!! I felt that the time up here was a really nice way to spend my vacations and really 'do something'. The trails are amazing, all the mountains and the nature - just wonderful!

And I'm surprised the horses are so good on all the terrain, and the mule tracks especially. All in all, I think this working holiday had something of everything: trail rides, very good lessons with Susan, nice company, good horses and lots of work of course, and fabulous weather.

Thanks a lot for the great time we spent on the farm! We enjoyed so much being together with the horses, the dogs and even the geese! Every day anew, we are just amazed how beautiful this place is, high in the mountains with spectacular sunsets every night.

We loved the rides and hikes into the mountains and we have learned so much about riding, join up and generally dealing with the horses. We will miss throwing sticks for Ringo!

It was amazing working here, (we almost forgot about our own work) Thanks for the hospitality and help whenever we needed it.

What an amazing GEM of a place that has left a wonderful imprint. Difficult to sum up in words as my head is clear and peaceful from mountain air, pleasurable work and fantastic company.

I love being able to look out over Africa on a clear day, the hum of insects, neighing of horses, loving dogs and lively people. This place is very special. Pure inspiration.

I have had an amazing week here and am so sorry to say goodbye so soon! Thanks to all for welcoming me, teaching me and making my stay so memorable.

I hope to see you all soon.

Cantering Aska through the beautiful Alpujarras brought me so much happiness and made this trip from London priceless!
I learnt to cook and to love getting muddy!

Thanks for opening your doors to me, it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Grazie, Alessio

This place has so much life and energy, enough to fill up another planet! I loved every bit of my experience and hope to keep the flavour for a long time.
