Join a peaceful horse farm near the historic village of Fort Langley in British Columbia, Canada

  Description

  Located in the picturesque Glen Valley area just minutes from the historic village of Fort Langley and 45 minutes east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. On 8 acres of private lush green space nestled amongst old growth cedars and shared with our very special healing herd of horses who offer a quiet grounding presence.
  
  I work as an Equine Assisted Learning facilitator offering transformational experiences partnering with horses, as well as other healing and personal-development classes, workshops and retreats. In order to dedicate more of my time to growing and running my equine business, I am looking for a quiet, independent, self-motivated, nature loving person or couple to help maintain the farm; from pasture and paddock maintenance, fence repair, mowing, to gardening and composting, and smaller building projects. Must love and feel comfortable around horses and dogs.
  
  Please note: there is no public transit to or from our farm but as your host I can help you explore the area.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I have been fortunate enough in years past to do a lot of traveling worldwide. I’m less able to travel now due to my responsibilities on the farm and would love to welcome travelers to learn about your culture.
  
  I am able to share with you the wonderful transformational wisdom of horses as true partners, guides and teachers on our spiritual, healing and self-development journey. *PLEASE NOTE we do not offer horse riding here.

  Help

  Help is required with private farm maintenance such as gardening, yard, pasture maintenance, cleaning horse paddocks, small building projects, painting, splitting and stacking firewood, occasionally pet sitting for 2 lovable dogs when I’m working. And if you enjoy cooking and sharing in the creation of some meals, that’s appreciated as well.
