knowledgeable I was constantly learning. Their home is very comfortable and Ellens food was amazing I couldn't get enough of it. I am so grateful for the opportunity and would definitely return!
She is a hard worker and very good with the horses. Always ready to take on something new and learn how to be good at it.

Thanks to Hellen I discovered the world of riding, I learned to harness horses and to drive them, Hellen is a very good teacher!
Steve is a very friendly person with good humor!
I enjoyed spending time with them and helping them on their ranch.
Thank you for your kindness Steve… read more
She gave me not only a skill such as a way how to harness horses,but also horsemanship such as
"gentle" "careful mind" "no fight"
They treat me as a part of family,and supper after working and running(my hobby) is incredible!
I appriciate all of them.
