  • Description

    Hello! Hola!

    My name is Alicia and my husband is Jason. We are 42 & 43yrs, happily married for 23yrs and have two grown successful sons. Our lives have been full and exciting with raising our children, successful careers, a very active outdoorsy lifestyle and adventurous travel. We love being outdoors!

    Our love of travel and passion for horses is leading us into our next big decision and adventure. We are stepping away from our careers to explore other cultures and discover other opportunities in life; especially a future that would include horses.

    I have always been obsessed with horses and I have had many wonderful opportunities to ride and train on others' horses; with many years of hunter jumper, cross country, polo lessons and endurance. Jason and I have enjoyed many extended riding/trekking vacations as well.

    Now, after raising 2 successful young men, it is finally the right time for us to act on our dreams of travel and then horse ownership. We are contemplating to not return to our 'desk jobs' and instead, follow our passion and establish a horse related business. Whether it's for work or solely for pleasure, horses are definitely in our future!!

    We have completed two equestrian WorkAways so far and continue to look for new interesting opportunities.

    ***Most recently, we had the wonderful opportunity to WorkAway in Argentina. Alicia trained and exercised Arabian endurance horses in Argentina in preparation for the 2023 Panamerican Olympics. Jason also rode on occasion, helped with feeding and worked on repairs and construction projects around the property. Jason and I proudly worked as crew members supporting the rider during the race which was held Chile in November 2023. ***
