    Om programmet

    Our Volunteer Program takes place at the IHP Rescue Centre in Tuscany, where we host about 40 horses, most of which are under legal custody because they have been mistreated and are therefore under legal custody.🏇🏻🐴

    Volunteers are very important to us as they become part of our team and help us with the daily activities related to animal care: 

    • preparation of feed for elderly horses and horses with special nutrition:
    • preparation of hay for horses with asthma; 
    • daily monitoring of our guests (state of health, general condition)
    • cleaning of the infirmary stalls and other spaces; 
    • assistance with any checks and treatment by our veterinary managers.
    The work is voluntary and takes place mostly outdoors, in a group with other people who may come from various countries. We don't require volunteers to have prior experience with horses: our staff will teach everything about horses management and their ethology.
    The Centre is located on the side of a hill, so there will be a lot of walking, including on sloping terrain. We work outdoors, so it can get very hot or very cold. Sometimes we work in the rain. The tetanus vaccination is recommended (not mandatory).

    Volunteers stay in the same apartment at the Rescue Centre: two double rooms and a triple room, with a shared kitchen and bathroom. 
    We ask that volunteers have a passion for horses, care about animal rights, and enjoy a natural lifestyle and working with animals.

    Volunteers are welcome year-round, with a minimum stay of one week.

    Typisk dag

    The first day is dedicated to visiting the Rescue Centre, meeting our staff and the other volunteers.

    Volunteers can choose to work for the entire routine: 4 hours in the morning (starting from 6 a.m. or from 7 a.m., depending on the time of the year) and 2 hours in the evening (starting from 3 p.m. ..

    Important! Schedules may vary slightly depending on the season, weather, and emergencies: volunteers will be notified of any changes.

    During free time, volunteers can decide whether to spend time with the horses at the Rescue Centre or explore the countryside and cities of Tuscany. We can provide tourist advice for visiting cities such as Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano, Volterra, Certaldo, San Miniato and other places.

    Very important: the IHP Rescue Centre is in the countryside, 5 km from Montaione and 13 km from Castelfiorentino, where the nearest railway station is located. This means that, without a car, it's almost impossible to get around to explore the area (in this case, we recommend renting a car).

    Tuscany offers stunning landscapes and picturesque villages, perfect for day trips, such as the nearby Volterra and Certaldo, where you can admire the ancient medieval walls and the incredible panoramic views; or the elegant San Gimignano, with its famous UNESCO World Heritage towers. 

    Additionally, the cities of Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca are all about an hour's drive from the Rescue Centre. Upon arrival, we will provide advice and ideas on how to best organize your sightseeing trips.

    Important: to move around independently, a car is necessary. The Rescue Centre is located in the countryside, public transport is very limited and we don't provide transportation services.
