Lina & Ida

Travel information

We are currently

Description

We are Ida and Lina from Germany and are looking for potential stays abroad in Canada or in the USA from the beginning of 2025.
Both of us have planned to spend about three months in Canada or in the USA, but are quite flexible.
We both love animals and grew up with horses as well as other animals.
Ida lives on a large farm in Germany with over 100 cattle and her own horses, as well as dogs and cats, and therefore has experience of day to day farm work and agricultural machinery.
Lina's family owns a Haflinger breeding farm which has been in existence for over 50 years.
This has given her experience in handling foals and young horses, including training them to be ridden and teaching them the basics.
We both ride English, but still have a great interest in western riding and horsemanship.
We would prefer to spend our workaway on a large farm, so we can do typical farm work, as well as work with horses and learn more about horsemanship.
We are not afraid of hard work and are happy to lend a hand where help is needed.
