Beschreibung
We are a hypoallergenic Curly horse farm, but we are looking for a workawayer to stay with us to help us with daily chores around the house and garden and in exchange we will provide room and board and friendship.
If you have horseback riding experience there may be a chance for you to ride and if you are keen to learn horsemanship skills there may be an opportunity for some learning there too.

Summerland is on the shore of the Okanagan Lake. The area is filled with orchards and vineyards, beautiful mountains and valleys. It is a perfect place to be in the nature - you get lots of chances to enjoy our area parks with hiking, cycling, wildlife viewing and many water activities in the summertime too. There is skiing nearby as well, we do not ski but would have ideas how to help you get out there.

Since my last workaway experience wasn’t that great, I was a little reluctant to work abroad once again. But I’m glad that I brought myself to do it because it was amazing!! Everybody was just so lovely and made me feel welcome – I wish I could have stayed longer.

Marleen was an excellent helper around our farm. And, even though she arrived with an injured ankle, she pitched in and as she got better she did more and more to help.
I would recommend her to any workaway situation - she is lovely to have around!

In the moring you feed the horses and clean out the pens which you begin with at 8am. When you are three workaways you can be done within approximately two hours. If you are on your own, which I was for a week, the morning routine takes until 12:30pm.
At 6pm in the evening you feed the horses again. You will be done before 9pm.

Upon arrival we we’re presented with a printed hand out that said extra hours were expected each day if we wanted to horse ride, and days off seemed discouraged (if you wanted to get horse rides).
