PONY POST

Good ponies stick to the trail. Bad ponies chase the stories. Pony Post is where new rides, news and mischief show up first.

JOB BOARD: Careers for people who’d rather muck out than log in.

  • BONZANZA THE LAND, NORTHERN PORTUGAL: Volunteer

    Bonanza The Land is on the hunt for an independent volunteer to look after six horses and one pony out on pasture. Two are rideable now, and from January three need bringing back into work with lunging and riding.

    They offer accommodation, plenty of saddle time and the chance to stay on for a good long stretch if you are the right kind of feral.

  • WOLWEDANS, NAMIBIA: Horse Caretaker & Guide

    Wolwedans are hunting for a seriously horse mad caretaker and guide to join the crew at NamibRand Nature Reserve.

    If you are a strong rider who cares about wild places and believes tourism should look after people, planet and profit, this one has your name on it.

  • RIDE ANDES, EQUADOR: Volunteer

    Ride Andes are on the lookout for a volunteer to start asap and spend Christmas in Ecuador, wrapped in mountains and horses instead of tinsel.

    Saddle up your riding experience and language skills and send them in.
