  • Description

    First of all, let me introduce myself: I'm Eva Broeren, a 24-year old Dutch woman who would love to work with horses again this year as I am keen to improve my horsemanship and riding skills while being abroad. At home, I have three shetland ponies myself which I bred myself after getting one shetland pony as a reward for my hard work at a Shetland Pony breeding farm (where I've been helping out/working since I was only eleven years old!). I'm also currently training a young horse for its owner and have been riding horse for about fifteen years now. I finished my studies and as of this year I started working full time but that doesn't stop me from volunteering during my summer holiday.
    Last summer, I was working as a guide in Iceland on multi-day tours on horseback where I fell in love with the combination of horsemanship and horse riding skills together with making sure the guests have the best time possible on their trip, next to the stunning nature and the incredible sense of freedom it gives you.
    During my time in Iceland, I've gained experience guiding (multi-day) tours in Iceland as well as in herding. On the shorter tours, I was given the responsibility to guide these independently shortly after my arrival.
    This wasn't my first horse- and guest-related working experience as I have been working at training stables, breeding stables as well as touristic horse businesses for several years now in different countries (for example Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland and Germany). This taught me a lot of horse and people skills, a great sense of responsibility, work ethics and the ability to adapt quickly to the circumstances. Naturally, I have references of all places I've worked at available if you are interested :)
    I hope to hear from you and please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need further information.
