knowledgeable I was constantly learning. Their home is very comfortable and Ellens food was amazing I couldn't get enough of it. I am so grateful for the opportunity and would definitely return!
She is a hard worker and very good with the horses. Always ready to take on something new and learn how to be good at it.
We miss her here every day but love that she is able to get out and meet new people.

Thanks to Hellen I discovered the world of riding, I learned to harness horses and to drive them, Hellen is a very good teacher!
Steve is a very friendly person with good humor!
I enjoyed spending time with them and helping them on their ranch.
Thank you for your kindness Steve… read more
She gave me not only a skill such as a way how to harness horses,but also horsemanship such as
"gentle" "careful mind" "no fight"
They treat me as a part of family,and supper after working and running(my hobby) is incredible!
I appriciate all of them.
