Lorene was only here for two weeks but it was long enough to see that she is a good person who was happy to get things done. She is a good worker, conscientious and motivated. Lorene paid good attention to the horses and their 'complicated' feeding schedules! She communicated well and wasn't afraid to ask questions when needed. I would have

Paula and Luisa were absolutely wonderful helpers. They are easy to know, reliable, smart, quick to learn and naturally kind and respectful to our horses, dogs and cats! I could depend on them for feeding, preparing buckets and for other jobs that came up. They have my highest recommendation. I miss you guys and wish you lots of luck and fun in

We stayed with Judy and her husband André for four weeks during March and had an all over great experience. All their animal (horses, dogs, cats) are lovely and we got to spend a lot of time outside with them. Due to the fact that we stayed there in the off-season when no lessons take place, our main tasks were the daily feedings, moving the

Also we helped with cleaning and organizing exquipment, moving hay bales, snow shoveling and painting jobs. The communication with Judy was perfect and our schedule was very flexible. She is such a kind and open-minded person, we really enjoyed the time with her. Living in the dry-cabin, being surrounded by all these amazing animals and just disconnecting in nature felt so good. Moreover, Judy introduced us to her friends, included us in a campfire afternoon and showed us local sights like a wildlife reserve, hot springs and an icehockey game in Whitehorse.
Thank you so much Judy and André for making us feel at home and for offering us this awesome Yukon-life experience!

The review comes late. I had an excellent time with Judy and Andre. It was fantastic to work with their horses, each is a different individual with his own charm. The place is beautiful, a lot of nature. Judy explained me about everything and the work was easy and simple. They are both full of stories and knowledge and I enjoyed much learning from

Nathalie was only here for 5 days on a short notice but enough time to see that she is a good person and smart, with a strong work ethic. She didn't hesitate to do any jobs and did them easily and quickly. I would have her back again and strongly recommend her to other hosts!

I had a bad experience using another app to get an accommodation in Whitehorse, so I sent a message to Judy explaining the situation and she answered me immediately saying that I could stay at her place. She helped me a lot doing that, because I had enough time to buy a flight ticket to my next destination. Flight tickets from/to Whitehorse can be

She has a flexible schedule, especially because it rains a lot in Whitehorse. I wish I could have stayed there when there are the summer projects with her customers, I think it would be interesting to work on her therapeutic project.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

It was a last minute decision to come up here to the Yukon and I'm so happy I did it. The place is beautiful located in the wilderness. The animals are great to work with and Judy is a very nice host. Everything worked out perfectly and I really enjoyed my time up here.

The work with the horses and the people who join the lessons was an incredible experience. It gives you so much joy to see them all happy with the horses.
Thank you so much Judy for giving me this great opportunity. I really hope I can come back one day :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Dylan is a lovely person and worked well with us. I had only met him a couple of days before I had to leave for 3 weeks. I was stressed about that but he looked after everything and kept in touch with me, answering my questions when I was away! He fed the horses and walked our little pony in rehab. and worked on a stump fence in good time! Dylan

This experience was my first Workaway and I wouldn't trade it for anything else! Judy, André and Sarah were very welcoming and the accommodation was great. Working in the program was really fun and rewarding, you could tell the people coming were happy to be there and this was the best rewards. The horses

Nikky and Sam have been a joy to share our home and facility with. They both were great assets to our summer program, relating warmly and professionally with our riders and with other volunteers. They both come with strong work ethics, and expertise in their fields of interest. We enjoyed having them very much and expect the friendship with always

This was our first Workaway and we stayed during summer 2021. From the moment we arrived at the property Judy welcomed us with open arms and we immediately felt at home.

Judy and her husband are the most caring, sociable and friendly people we have ever met.
We had an amazing time while staying at their horse ranch. We walked the horses on their beautiful ranch, fed the horses and helped with other small tasks. We stayed in a comfortable private cabin with a microwave, stove, water boiler,... This is a unique
