Description
We run a wild horse training program and have over 30 brumbies here with us being guides through from wild to domestic. We live on the Snowy River 1000 acres of bushland. We live in a modest but happy and comfortable shed / house and have a small studio attached with a cosy bed for visitors to stay. We welcome workaway guests to come for 5 days and complete a project at our wild horse training bushland home. You may want to complete a fence line, or redo our vegie patch, or you may have skills in building and maintenance to help with repairs of our old shearing shed. Many of our workaway guests have stayed on past the 5 days as guests to our home and become life long friends. For more information please send us a message.
