Manjeev is an officially certified Monty Roberts instructor - the only one in Asia. He has spent extensive time working with and training horses, including wild mustangs in the US. He also got involved in mental health projects using horses to help war veterans with PTSD and troubled youth, among many others. Charlotte is a Monty Roberts advanced student. She is passionate about helping people bond with horses as well as build leadership and confidence skills through their relationships with horses. 

Our volunteer programs offer the opportunity to learn about horses, their psychology and body language as well as the right way to work and communicate with them. The first part of the program will focus on teaching you the basics of natural horsemanship in theory and giving you the chance to implement it in practice with our horses who are all safe and trained. You will then assist in our natural horsemanship workshop and courses, as well as in the workshops we run outside of the farm. 

The focus of this program is to connect with horses and learn to communicate with them, and therefore train them in ways that make sense to horses (i.e. different from what naturally makes sense to humans). Depending on your riding level and interest, we can organise some riding (please let us know in advance if this is something you want to do.) 

We get very involved with our volunteers and want to make sure they have the best time possible, learning as much as they can as well as enjoying all the things we offer to our clients. This is why we don't take more than 2 volunteers at any time to make sure we can give the best quality time. 

You will be staying in a flat next to our own inside a gated complex, in town (a 15min drive to the farm) walking distance from modern amenities such as Starbucks, cinemas and plenty of delicious restaurants and street food and even a spa! You'll have your own room and bathroom. We have 8 rescued dogs as well as 4 rescued cats so you need to be comfortable with animals! They are very friendly and will give you plenty of purr/hug therapy! We'll provide you all your meals, delicious home cooked vegetarian food! 

Although we run our program throughout the year, note that the best period is from October to March only as it is very hot in April-May-June and very wet (because of the monsoon) in Jul-Aug-Sept. If you're feeling brave (and it's been done!!) you are welcome during summer/monsoon!
