Internship on a horsefarm in Estonia

Description

Internship will take place on an organic farm promoting sustainable lifestyle, and this project is proposed for interns who appreciate and share its values, want to learn more about it and to help hard working people. Alliksaare Farm has an important task taking care of coastal meadows which are international birds’ migration area under protection of NATURA Program. 

Alliksaare Farm’s main direction is horse farming. At the moment there are around 100 horses on the farm. The work is diverse: it is to take care and maintain the pastures located by the sea — clearing around the pastures, building or removing fences, repairing fences. Another work is cleaning the coast nearby the farm from rubbish brought by storms. There can be some work for preparing food for horses for a winter time. But the most important work is with horses directly — take care of them and to train horses. If you know how to ride and know more about horses it is possible to go on trails rides and work with horses further. If you want to learn how to ride there is a possibility as well. There are young and older horses so it’s possible to learn how to take care and train horse of any age, starting from training foals how to walk on the lead rope and getting them to trust humans as well as riding some troubled horses or training horses to ride under saddle or front of the carriage. The work will be mainly outdoors. Working time is 6-8 hours a day. Work will be done under some supervision and guidance of the local host but also quite a lot independently.

Comments

You have to be open-minded and ready to adapt to the simple conditions of the common life in Estonian countryside. Be ready for independent work staying without permanent supervision. Please consider that the work is mainly farm work which can be hard sometimes. It would be great if you have experience with horses. It is helpful if you have some technical skills: repair machines, building, use chainsaws, etc.

Smoking and drinking alcohol are not permitted on the farm.

There are a lot of interesting natural picturesque sights on the island as well as good possibilities for swimming in the sea or hiking in the forest. It is possible to visit other parts of Hiiumaa Island on the week-end, which is planned by the host. Hiiumaa offers a lot of various cultural events in summer time and interns will have the possibility to join some of them. In spring and autumn you can enjoy birds watching as their migration route goes over island. This project is perfect for people who enjoy being close to the nature and are interested in traditional way of rural living.
