We are simple and small farm with a huge hay field and several horses to take care of. If you love work outside, have or want to gain experience with horses you would fit in just fine !

Help

I am looking for a volunteer that is willing to do whatever is required. Work will predominantly be moving sprinklers over the field to keep the grass well watered. Horses are sometimes needed to be worked closely with. There is always some fences maintenance. Making hay is a reality in this location. Mechanical skills is very handy. Cooking is also in demand so that is very much an asset.

We expect 5 hours a day, but it is very flexible and you need to be too. Some days might be longer if there is something going on on the farm, but other days are just play days where we just pretend there is no work to do.
