I had a great time as a 'horse au pair' at Equus Silvania. Nice people, great horses, beautiful landscapes... all in all a very nice experience. Communication when getting to know each other went well and when I arrived in Romania everything was as promised/expected. The job was varied and I got to know a lot of people and got to speak different languages.
