Whilst many of our overseas riders come to our stable, just for a quiet hack whilst on holiday, we can offer working holidays, for limited numbers - we prefer to offer a quality service.

Accommodation can be arranged, self catering or B&B, or up to ***star hotel, depending on what the individual requires, usually in the town of Marsascala, transport can be arranged, or the individual may choose to use the cheap local transport. Flight prices are not included. 

Working holidays vary depending on the time of the year, courses can be arranged according to ability level, and can include stable management, dressage, jumping and polo, either specialising in one particular sport, or a basic grounding in all areas. Anyone attending a course, will receive a course certificate, and may receive an examination certificate if they wish to take their stable exams (the exams are mainly geared towards children). Prices of working holidays vary according to the accommodation required, and also the content of the holiday. There is plenty of time given over to sightseeing as well as stable work, and if the individual is fortunate to be here whilst there is a competition being held, they will be able to compete, (with the exception of polo matches). The stable holds its own show at Easter, which consists of Jumping and Riding classes and a novices polo tournament during the summer (June - mid August).

Anyone interested in a working holiday, riding course, or just a ride whilst here on holiday, please contact me for further details.

Every year The Donkey Sanctuary holds this unique week's holiday, relaxing down among the donkeys.

International Donkey Week is a holiday with a difference - a chance for people to have close contact with our donkeys in glorious settings. They can groom, cuddle or just sit and watch the donkeys, which, we hasten to add, is very relaxing and therapeutic.

Donkey week this year is 6th to 13th May 2003.
