    Description

    Hi we're Sam & Brendon and we live on our stunning family horse farm in the Byron Bay hinterland, with our 13 family horses, 2 dogs and our cat Louie.
    We would like someone with a good amount of horse experience who is confident around them and enjoys helping us care for them. A background with performance horses is a big bonus for us!
    Opportunity for you to ride and have fun bonding with our horses.
    Must have good english and a sense of humour.
    We are fun, easy going guys who love a laugh and meeting new people who often become good friends =)
    We like showing people our area and taking them around the local attractions.
