Interview with June Wolfe - Ethical Horse Riding Holidays - Andalucia

Send us Fan MailI really enjoyed this episode with June and even though times have been very hard for the family because of the nature of their business and COVID restrictions in and out of the country, she still maintains a sense of humour and a positive outlook but then as she says in the interview . . . "We have to survive, for ourselves and the animals"One of their delightful rescue animals is a parrot, who you will most definitely hear throughout this podcast, so I'm pre-warning you . . .lolI hope you enjoy this episode.A little background into June's story:Cortijo Los Lobos is owned and run exclusively by ourselves, Clive and June, meaning you are guaranteed a personal service –  guest happiness is our priority. We moved to our lovely old farmhouse in the spring of 2000 with our  three young children. The farmhouse was named after our surname Wolfe, Cortijo Los Lobos means "Farmhouse of Wolves".Within two weeks we had acquired our first horse, Polly, after hearing that she desperately needed a home. That was the start of our horse rescue journey, within two years our herd had grown to six and within two more years we had 15 horses to care for, as well as abandoned cats and dogs, a couple of goats, sheep and chickens.We have rehabilitated and trained our horses using positive reinforcement, they are all bitless and barefoot and are much loved family pets who will be with us until the day they die. As the herd ages, as well as making our rides walk only, we have moved into a lot more ground based work, hosting courses such as clicker training and agility, hoof trimming, equine massage, all designed to benefit both horses and guests, so that when the day eventually comes, that all our horses are too old to ride, we can still provide horse holidays to interest guests, even taking a horse for a walk in hand is a fun thing to do. We have been accepted by the Non Ridden Equine Association. This means that we also promote non ridden horse activities.https://horseriding-holidays-andalucia.com/our-story/https://www.facebook.com/Cortijo.Los.LobosInterview: Live Video Versionhttps://youtu.be/RHoTNll1eOo Video version (alongside applicable podcasts) can be viewed on facebook and YouTube.https://www.facebook.com/equinevoices.co.ukhttps://www.youtube.com/@equinevoicesukhttps://www.instagram.com/equinevoices.ukContact Ronnie.mailto:[email protected]
