    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Farm is situated by our renowned pottery studio and horse farm. In the studio porcelain and stoneware tableware is made.

    I have been studying with world's leading holistic, heart-centred horse trainers since 2016. It has given me a varied tool-set and understanding to inform my own unique approach to holistic horsemanship.

    We are called to share all that we have discovered and learnt over the years, so you too can feel the connection with nature and be inspired to create your own safe-haven.

  • Help

    Help
