    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.

    As we operate as a family on our place. You'll experience country life in Canada first hand. Responsibilities change by the seasons so do the tasks.
    You'll experience animals behaviour and farm life in general. Wildlife is around so you may see deer, bears or coyotes and if you are super lucky maybe even a moose.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Important please note:
    PLEASE note: No smokers or full vegans for us - sorry this does not fit our family's lifestyle. Vegetarians who eat cheese and eggs are welcome.

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

    Please accept that full on Gluten allergies are to complex for me to handle on a daily base. I am gluten sensitive myself , but no full on allergy.

    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.

    I do have a sensitivity to strong perfume odor. Deodorant amounts are is fine. But if you use excessive amounts of perfume I will not be able to tolerate the smell in our home.
