We are a horse ranch in Lithuania, about 50km away from the Baltic Sea.
The ranch is located in a rural area, an absolutely lovely spot for whoever loves being out in the nature and enjoys farm life.
Here is a lot of help necessary to keep up the place, fix and maintain ranch equipment as well as the buildings and some gardening and animal care - cooking and house keeping skills are greatly appreciated too.
During the summer months we are offering riding vacations - summer camps for kids.
Please note that riding is not a main job to do here, but there will be occasional opportunities to ride as well.

I was treated like a royal guest while there, Regina was waiting for me in her car ready to take me to the supermarket where i could get anything i wanted to cook. i slept in a very nice house by myself for 8 days. we had dinner a couple times and i really enjoyed taking pictures and making videos of the beautiful ranch.

It has been a pleasure to accommodate Aidan and Hanna here at the Ranch, their outgoing personality and happiness has been an enrichment for all of us here, and their willingness to work with us even the not so pleasant jobs like shuffling snow have been done with an remarkable effort and the two are already being missed here...

My friend and I stayed here for just over three weeks, and truly had an unforgettable experience. We never worked more than 25 hours a week, and the jobs were always very educational with Mike teaching lots about horse care as we worked. Chores included feeding, grooming, cleaning up after, and exercising the horses; raking leaves; shoveling snow;… read more

Always happy and smiling Barun has been an enrichment to our team which can hardly be replaced. Willing to do anything from horse care to house keeping Barun has as well been very entertaining with her descriptions of the South Korean life style and the way she enjoyed being outside in the nature.
We truly hope Barun will find the right place… read more

We stayed 10 days with Mike and these amazing 26 horses. It was really good to build a shelter for the horses, walk near the river, spend time to ride horse and also enjoy the place.

Take care for next, it was a pleasure :)

I don't really find the right words to describe the value of the job Paulin and Vincent have done to our ranch and the horses, their efforts to build a new weather shelter for some of our horses has just been outstanding, nothing has been too heavy or too complicated, both have been very nice to deal with, they are just easy going, down to earth… read more

We spent 3 weeks on this lovely and rural ranch, which is set in the middle of fields and forests. During our stay we did different tasks like grooming the horses, cooking and gardening. In our freetime, which we had a lot, we enjoyed to take a walk to the little river or to pick bowls full of blueberries in the wood.
It was amazing to see how… read more

We have stayed at the rach for over half a month. It is located in the country, so it's the perfect place to experience the rural life, nothing but fields and forests around. We really enjoyed staying there, the slow pace of life there. Our daily tasks were various, from cooking to longing horses. Michael is very careful not to exceed working time… read more

During his 3 weeks stay Andrey helped with different barn chores, fencing, horse care, he took care of our stable dog Mecki and did the cooking. His efforts to complete those tasks have been outstanding, we truly hate to see him leaving hoping he's coming back again. Our best wishes for his future endeavors.

What can I say? The reality has surpassed my expectations. Amazing and beautiful place, the ranch. I've found here very kind and warm relations with the animals. Didn't expect to see such a humane and scientifically-based approach to horses. Natural horsemanship, it’s great.
