Description
Update: we are booked for the year 2025. Thank you for your interest. We might have openings as from June 2026. We will update as it comes closer.
We are located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. My husband and I have 5 horses, 2 dogs, and 1 vineyard - no kids. Our helper would have to be an outdoorsy person, dog & horse lover, interested in natural horsemanship and be a good rider. In exchange for your volunteering, you have room & board, internet access, are included in all activities, and we play with the horses or we go riding. Are you a non-smoking, self motivated, outdoorsy & fit person, then we would love to get in contact with you.
