Description
We are a busy family of 3 children,. We all work on the stud farm which is an EU station and also a vet clinic. We produce horses for showjumping and eventing. Its a busy life but always fun. We would like to host workaway's who have some experience with horses. Also if you have farming experience with large animals that would be helpful.
We don't do stress, we want everyone to enjoy their time here. There is of course work to be done but that is enjoyable, caring for the animals and making sure they have the best and are always comfortable.
We have availability now for the spring and summer months.
We also have 2 dogs! Big Harry and small Sally!Types of help and learning opportunities
