Description
We are a 19 year old couple from England who love travel, the outdoors and new experiences. Trying to see and experience as much of life as we can! I (Johnny) have played rugby since I was 8. This being my main passion, I am a sports fanatic. Being outdoors is what I love most. This year I am doing a gapyear. I want to use it to travel and help at at ranches in Canada, I would love to learn more about farming and improve my horse riding. I would also love to spend time with working dogs as I have always had a keen interest and love for dogs. My main goal of my gapyear is to become as practical as I can!
Ellie is 19 and currently working on a horse yard in England. She has rode horses all her life and absolutely loves it. She is a very outgoing person who loves getting stuck into anything and everything. Especially with animals! We would love to throw ourselves into anything we can and we want to try and help out at as many places as we can. We would also love to own a small holding or hobby farm when we are older so would love to gain more experience in this.

More details about your skills
Johnny. I have always been into the outdoors so anything and everything outdoors is my passion. I can do gardening, mowing the grass, cutting back bushes, fixing barbed fences. I have also been doing lots of painting. And I can horse ride. Although I am not the best I can ride and would love to improve it. Am also a quick learner so I am sure I will pick things up very quickly as I am a practical person. Ellie has worked on horse yards her whole life so can do every yard job. She is also a great cook!

They got very little done while they are with us.
Then, they decided to leave from one day to the next after a very short stay (they were supposed to stay a further month). This was very disruptive to our team and to our project.
