Description
Hi!
I'm Sonja, 20 and from Germany. At the moment I study agriculture in Osnabrück, Germany.
Being outside and working with animals is my passion. I do horsebackriding since I was a kid, mainly English but I'm getting more and more into western riding, too. Also I have some knowledge about horsemanship techniques, so I would love to improve my skills in that and western riding.
I am a hardworking person and I can put a lot of effort in everything I am asked for. Either working as a team or on my own is both no problem for me. To be honest I really don't like to sit around the most of the day and rather help out where ever I can as long as it is appreciated.

Dear family,
Excuse my late review, but better late than never, right? :)

I've stayed at this beautiful part of the Black forest for 2 weeks in August/September und I'm glad I did.
After several great experiences far away from home this was my first workaway in my home country.
Everyone is friendly and welcoming, so it was easy to fit in right… read more

Sonja was an awesome addition to our home. I am pretty sure that she is actually destined to be a true Canadian and I hope that one day she makes it back to Canada where she belongs ;) Sonja is very diligent and helped feed and take care of our horses every day. She helped do groundwork with a couple horses and they showed great improvements. She… read more

Crystal and Jeff are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I've met so far. After having great but also bad experiences I was quite concerned about my stay but they welcomed me into their family from the first day on and I can't tell how grateful I am for that.
During my one month stay I had the pleasure to work with their lovely horses,… read more

You get to know soo many people which some might find overwhelming but it was perfect to me.
I worked in the service and I learned to really like it as you alwaya… read more

I found the Shamrock ranch on another volunteering website, that's why I can leave a review already :)

Liezel's and Larry's place was my first ranching experience in Canada and I couldn't have asked for a better one. You never know what to expect and after 5 months of working on several ranches, Shamrock ranch is still my favorite.

You work… read more
