About the project

LA TROPILLA

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

La Tropilla is located around two hours away from Santiago. This project is perfect for horse-lovers. There are 16 horses in the establishment, and volunteers will take total care of them. La Tropilla offers horse riding classes for children and adults, horse workshops, hypo therapy classes for children with special needs, etc. The owners of the farmstay also own kiwi and cherry plantations and they also organize farming workshops for children, teaching them how to take care of the orchard and the animals. So volunteers may also have to collaborate in taking care of them.

💼 What the programme involves

- Assisting the teacher on horse-riding lessons for children - Taking care of the horses (feeding them –cleaning their barns, etc) - Taking care of the orchard and garden - Helping in hypo therapy classes - Assisting in other farm projects with animals and vegetables At 8 am, participants start their days, feeding horses and other animals, later cleaning their barns. They have a break for lunch and relax before afternoon activities that are mainly helping in the horse riding classes for children. They work 6 days per week.

🏠 Accommodation on site

There is a small cabin for two volunteers with independent kitchen and bathroom, but they may also be invited to live in the main residence, together with the family who owns the farm.

🍲 Food

They are provided for accommodation and food but volunteers will have to cook their own meals (although the supplies will be bought by the farm owners).

📍 About the location

La Tropilla is located in a rural area close to the city of Curicó. Many traditional countryside families bring their children to La Tropilla form them to learn horse riding. Farmstay life is busy during working hours and very relaxed in free time. On weekends farm owners get together with family and friends and volunteers are always welcomed to join these reunions.

🎒 Leisure activities

The landscape is beautiful and volunteers can visit the area in the Farm Horses. They are free to travel to other areas of Chile during weekends.
