Vacation with Tina and Michael

I spend two wonderful months with Tina and Michael, time that went by way too fast.
I met so many amazing people and horses. Thanks to Ina I´ve never had so much fun in the stable before. From jumping together in the arena to trips to the forest along the curry river or jumping trees (thanks to the storm ) to… read more

WONDERFUL experience.
I spent almost 5 months with Michael and Tina in Tarup. It was my second workaway and also my best.
I met wonderful people, I felt like a real part of the family, they trusted me and I felt free to do what I want.
The most of the job is to deal with the horses, mean feed them, fix the fences, make sure they are all okay and… read more ride them. It's a good thing if you are a good rider because you shall ride young horses, very kind horses but, still young horses.
Every morning you have to feed the horses, make sure they still have hay and water, then you have to ride one or two horses, maybe more. You can also get some rest, go to the forest for a walk, help Tina in the shop.
The horses are all outside, if you use a box you have to clean it and put some new straw. In the stables, you will meet Ina, she is very nice. Ina is always happy and optimist, it was so nice to go to the forest with her and the horses. I really miss her.
If you are an experiment rider, you will have many opportunity to ride, to train horses from owner, to go to competitions, to go to the forest and maybe have horseback lessons.
I think Michael and Tina's place is a paradise if you are a horse lover.
They also have three cats very friendly and a dog.
You are always welcomed to go with Tina and Michael for a trip in Denmark, to visit and meet new people. You can also borrow a car to go somewhere (the beach is 15mins driving).
I met the family of Tina and Michael, they were all very nice with me and make sure I'm good. I spent Christmas with them and it was a wonderful Christmas, we ate a lot of good food. :)

In the farm, you have your own appartment in the house, with your own bathroom, concerning the meals, you will eat with Tina and Michael, the food is provided and them make sure you're not hungry, the food is delicious. It's not a problem is you are vegetarian.

Michael and Tina are very social so many people are coming to the farm to share a diner and talk. I spent a lot of time with Tina's daughter Maria, she is also a rider and she has two horses.

I have so many thing to say about my trip, it was such a wonderful experience, I learnt a lot about horses and I have increased my english, also learnt some danish.

I want to thank you Michael, Tina and Maria for everything, I really needed a quiet place to think and have a good time with horses. Thank you for trusting me with horses and making me feel comfortable. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to travel with you and to go to Copenhagen. Thank you for have welcoming my boyfriend for a week.
I will never forget my trip in Denmark and I will never forget you. You are such a nice people and you have a wonderful family, I wish I will see you in the future. You are welcome to visit me in France, you have a room in my mother's house.
I really miss you, your family and Sunshine and Dina. I already miss your pizza and your bread Michael. I wish you the best and I hope I will see Sunshine's foal. :)
Love.

Michael and Tina are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They made me feel at home and part of their family since day one.
I stayed with them for a month, but I would have loved to stay longer and I’m already thinking about coming back. Whenever they went on trips they took me with them so I did not only see the country side but also other… read more
