    Our Iceland Horse Ranch program was designed for the horse and nature lover at heart looking to spend some time on a ranch or farm away from all the bright lights and big cities. This program is for people looking to learn something new and about the community where they’ll be placed. It also enhances your skills and knowledge about horse care and ranching in general. 

    This experience gives participants a chance to become involved with family activities or hang out with other volunteers. You will have all access to all facilities of the farm, i.e. riding their horses, driving the tractor and so much more! The program is not only about horse riding, it also entails a cultural exchange where candidates get a real inside feel of the local culture, mentality, etc.

    Quite a few horse ranches are part of this program each with their own charms and locations. Depending on your preference there are ranches where the focus is more about being part of the family as the only volunteer (often sleeping in the main ranch house) where the family also takes the participant along with them when they visit neighbors, do their grocery shopping or when they go to events and community festivals. The other ranches with a bit larger set ups you will instead be part of a team of volunteers living in a separate cabin or trailer on the ranching grounds where you will be spending more team and do more activities with the other international volunteers. 

    This program is available for a minimum duration stay of 4 weeks with a maximum duration of 12 weeks. Join now and be surrounded by nature, go on trail rides, take care of horses and travel to stunning Iceland!
