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..

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!:)

I had an amazing summer at Granxa do Souto. Everybody there is welcoming, helpful, professional and above all else GREAT FUN!! I would definitely reccomend that you apply for a position as a working student in this yard as you will make great friends during your stay here. You will learn so much, not just about horses but about rabbits, donkeys, dogs, cows, farming and of course Spansh. The horses in the yard and very well behaved and some have fantastic ability. There are more queit and reliable horses for the beginner and the nervous rider.

Working at Granxa do Souto was an incredible experience. Beautiful surroundings, amazing people and really nice and well cared horses made this place one of a kind. It’s a place where you need to be ready to work (as you are working with animals and people), but the atmosphere there was so nice and the owners, teammates and people there made it feel like home. The way they work with the horses, and how they focus the lifestyle and training process of them is amazing, letting them live on herds in big fields. I had a really really nice time working at Granxa do Souto, and I will recommend it to everyone who is ready to work and enjoy the horse paradise in Galicia. For sure a place to return always!
