Description
Help us look after our horses in Tasmania ( Kimberley / Cradle Mountain / Bakers Beach)
This is Ray and Laura and our 2 boys aged 10 and 6! ( very active boys!)
Our main activity is to go horse-riding out at our home base at Kimberley (near Sheffield) and Cradle Mountain (in summer) as well as Bakers Beach.
Our lifestyle is centred around horses so if you love being around horses, this is the place to get an experience.

We are a bilingual family ( Australian and French) and we offer travellers a unique experience of living on a farm in Tasmania, surrounded by horses and nature.
Ray is Australian and has been living in Tasmania for over 30 years and is happy to share everything he knows about this beautiful island and the Australian way of life in general.
Laura is French and has met and fell in love with Ray over 12 years ago while being a volunteer... a wedding and 2 beautiful children later we have a very busy life but we love meeting people from all over the world.
The children are 10 and 6 and are very social. They are also bilingual and love meeting new people!!
