Volunteering in Monteverde Costa Rica

We held this volunteer program in March 2002. We were building a horse feeding roof in the field and made some action painting with my horses (we used caly and occre). Marie-Jacques was with me for 3 weeks and her ideas inspired us to do some nice Photos in the field. See also her feedback. Thank you very much for staying with me and helping improve things in my farm.

Andrea stayed with us at the farm, when we moved in it in April 2003. read her feed back

Pierre from France. They have 40 horses at home and he fit perfectly into the Costa Rican horse world. Not only he did benefit from experiencing horsemanship at Sabine's Smiling horses, but also we started our 3 year old horse Salvaje, that I got as a yearling completely wild and did not buck once since we mount her. 

Thank you Pierre for sharing your knowledge with us and helping with us.
