Volunteer Rider for Horse Riding Tours in Rila National Park - Bulgaria

Rusaliite horse riding club is looking for volunteers to lead riding tours, ride-train the horses and take part in the daily work. Tasks consist of preparing horses for riding and lead guests for one hour to all day riding tours (sometimes we have camping sleepover rides); feeding the horses and other animals (deer, alpaca, exotic birds, etc.), train-ride some of the horses and when we have no rides help with all yard duties - cleaning the stable and enclosures. We practice English riding, therefore western riders will not be able to join for the riding part but they will have time to learn English riding with us.

Work is 5-6 hours per day, 5 days per week. When we have riding tours you are focused on them with less or no cleaning and feeding. Minimum stay 4 weeks. Preferred stay - 3 months. Maximum - negotiable.

We offer free accommodation (single or double room) with wifi, fully equipped kitchen, and use of car for your groceries and 50 lev weekly allowance. Food is Not provided.

In days off you can ride to far destinations and explore the vast Rila National Park. Some evenings we go to hot springs or a bar in the near by resort.

Advanced English riding is required to lead the riding tours. Western riders will not be able to join. Experience working with farm animals and birds. Clean and organized individuals that will keep the apartment in good condition. Punctual and serious about work. Own phone with mobile data for orientation during riding (we can show you how). Positive attitude, sense of humor, able to work solo and within a team.
