  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of five, living on a small rural property in the far far north. We have a few horses and a lot to do around the place.
    You will stay in a comfortable cabin, suitable for 1-2 people (possibly more if wanting). The cabin includes a little kitchen. The bathroom is located outside of the cabin, with a short walk. We have a swimming pool which you will be welcome to use. And it's 10 minutes drive to the beach, either to the east or the west coast.

    If you have any horse experience, and interested in learning a wholistic way of riding and training, I would be happy to include this in our time together.
