Help
I would like to find a helper for our three horses, as well as for gardening (although this probably doesn't take as much time as helping with the horses).

It would be great if you had any previous experience with horse care and training.

As I'm looking to improve my spoken French, I would especially love to take you in if you spoke French, but that's not a requirement in any way.
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Fluent
French: Fluent
Accommodation
I share a house with my sister. There are several unused rooms, which may be available. I'm frequently visited by my family, so some rooms need to stay free during your stay, but there's always at least one free room for you :-)
Wifi and TV are available.

every morning Monica came for breakfast she was in a good mood,
so a nice day could start.
she was very good organized and did a lot of work in the house and in the garden, by herself.
in a way her stay with us was too short, but she has a lot of plans around Europe, for this we
wish her all the best,
and our door will be always open for this… read more

About my stay with Imo, Marleen and Anke, well... where should I start?

Let me start by saying that these 2 weeks were absolutely great. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcome and could directly join them at the lunch table.

Passing some time in Lichtenfels with these three women is the ideal occasion to relax and read books waiting to… read more

we all enjoyed having Cathy staying with us, even when I was away for a fortnight she managed the work with the horses very well. As I am late for my feedback it has nothing to do with the work you did, it is because now I have a lot of work to do by myself , thank you again for staying with us, we might see us again, all the best to you

My experience here was amazing, it basically consisted of looking after the horses and riding them every day which was great. Even got to take part in a dressage competition and care for them on my own whilst Imo was away which i thoroughly enjoyed. To be honest it felt more like a holiday than work as everything was so relaxed and i feel like my… read more

Staying with Imo has been the best workaway experience ever for me!
Imo is just wonderful, and her sisters too. I enjoyed too much living with them for the month of July, in their sunny, clean and welcoming house, with the cats and Asterix.
The horses are amazing, every moment I spent with them was magic. I have done lots of different activities… read more

Imo is a wonderful host, I felt valued and accepted into the big family even though it was just a week. She is very generous and shows a lot of interest in you which I really appreciate. The work is very flexible in a way that you can do what you feel good at or feeling brave to try something new like help with the horses ;) I hope to come back… read more

A little belated feedback for Imo :

I spent the month of July in Lichtenfels (in Hessen) with Imo and her sisters and it was a very pleasant moment for me !
Imo and her sisters are very kind and their company was really relaxing. We did a lot of walks in the fields and in the forest. The food was always delicious, the house was very warm and I… read more

I spent about 15 days with Imogen and Marlene and I must say it was really a wonderful experience! They made me feel at home and were always very nice and kind with me. It was my first workaway experience and I couldn't be happier to share it with them :)
The house is very cozy and the place is surrounded by nature and nice walk paths. Their… read more

Ich bin sehr spät für eine Antwort, das liegt daran, dass ich die Arbeiten, die Barbora übernommen hatte , jetzt selbst machen muss. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit mit Barbora, sie hat uns mehrmals sehr gute vegetarische Gerichte gekocht. Sie war mir eine große Hilfe und ich würde mich freuen, wenn sie nochmal den Weg hierher finden würde.

Ich habe fast einen Monat mit Imo und ihre Familie verbracht. Schöne Zeit. Jeder Tag übt man Deutsch und wenn man etwas nicht verstehen kann, es ist kein Problem Englisch zu sprechen. Alle sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit - ich habe mich wirklich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Essen war immer lecker und die Nachtische einfach himmlisch!

I spend two weeks with Imo and Willy in their house in Lichtenfels. It was a perfect time and I couldn’t imagine myself better host family. They treated me like their own child and they were always ready to help me and advice me in any subject. This was my first workaway experience, and I feel really lucky to have found such a good place!
