I've worked three times as a working student in Granxa do Souto. The position is amazing opportunity for someone who wants to improve riding skills and learn more about handling young horses! All the horses are very nice and good for training flatwork and jumping. The atmosphere in la granxa is welkoming and you'll be working as a part of the team. I would definitely recommend this position to anyone who is willing to learn and wants to have good time with horses and people! I had the greatest time in Granxa do Souto!:)

- Facility Type
We run an small breeding yard and school in North West Spain. Based in rural area. 10 indoor boxes, 8 boxes for ponies and 2 outdoor boxes. Most of horses are out on pasture. We prepare horses and train them from basic to showjumpers. In the livery we have retired horses and showjumping horses that need a rest. Our aim is to keep horses in a natural enviroment sharing pasture with other horses. Most of our horses including the stallion are viceless and easy to work with. We have an small indoor arena and another outdoor and a Cross country gallop. Being in the country offers wide variaty of trecking round the yard. Working students help us to ride the horses and keep them fit and trained. We are a team and everyone helps around the yard, as we like horses and stables to be clean and tidy. Trainers and students must work together with an open mind towards horses. Having different nationalities helps broaden everyones mind and culture.English is a common language..
