  Description

  Hi I'm an Equestrain coach & have been doing this most of my life, I'm passionate about helping people understand their horses more as well as ride more successfully.
  There is always something to do, from caring with horses, pasture maintenance, to property improvements. Its great having a bit of help to get things done, & we have some lovely spots to relax in as well & just be.
  If you enjoy nature it's a great place to explore from.
  
  . I am not a commercial property growing produce, only self-sufficient.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I grew up with backpackers often staying at my families home & enjoy sharing our New Zealand way of life with travellers. There's lots of places to see nearby, beaches, bush nature, town & shopping too.
  The farm is stunning with a number of private swimming spots on it, so a piece of paradice really.

  Help

  So theres always things on the property,
  From a bit of
  Gardening, mowing & weeding. In our small home garden.
  Harrowing of paddocks,
  Picking up manure, spraying weeds, tidying fencelines. Helping with any projects i may have.
  
  Helping with horses, is possible but not essential.
  
  Helping on property projects, theres often something that I'm thinking would be great to do 😁

  Accommodation

  I live in a horse truck, with a lovely outdoor living space & bbq patio area. We enjoy cooking outside most nights in the summer & its great for relaxing during the day.
  At the moment we can only accept people with aa camper or are happy to sleep in a tent. This may change in the future.
