Friendship Horse Riding Stables Ltd's Mission Statement: We are a small horse farm in Tobago, which is a small but extremely beautiful Carribean island. We offer Trekking to the tourists, we are an established Stud farm, we also offer livery services. The stables are situated in the centre of a 450 acre coconut estate. We are minutes walk away from the beach (on the Atlantic side), but also enjoy the luxury of not being far from the main hub of the island. We are looking for volunteers to help us with our horses, which will include basic stable maintenance, exercising, grooming and possibly help with training of horses. The volunteer may also be asked to participate in general farm maintenance ie. repairing fencing, cutting bush, etc. You will be expected to work 6 days a week, on average 5 hours per day. In return we offer you accommodation and food.
