Description
We are looking exclusively for riders at this point of time. Riders welcome for May and later. Experience with riding essential: Icelandic Horse or dressage background. 2-3 month minimum stay.
The farm is home to us, about 30 horses, a few cows and 2 dogs and a cat. We are 15 km out from Enderby and have crown land all around us.
We have a greenhouse and veggies garden to take care of and grow a loty of our own food. We may need some help with this as well.
You will see wildlife visiting the farm and our place is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast.
We offer a friendly clean room and we will provide laundry service as well.
Looking for friendly, uncomplicated people, who love animals and the outdoors. Great hiking around here. In summer floating down the river is fun and there is always an option to explore the Okanagan area (Enderby to Kelowna)
Please put into your application how you would travel and the timeframe you are applying for. Our place is located at the foot of a mountain the setting is naturally beautiful.Types of help and learning opportunities

Often we can accommodate minor allergy to single food items. Please ask, if there is any specific problem.

Lactose intolerance is no problem as I do have to watch this for myself and my husband.
2 dogs and a cat live with us in our home- allergies against pet hair, hay or dust will be an issue.
