Description

About Me:
Hi, my name is Jana, I am 23 years old, and I will complete my Bachelor’s degree in English and Special Education this summer. I grew up with a deep passion for animals, and this passion continues to shape my life today. Working with animals feels natural to me; I am attentive, patient, and genuinely committed to their well-being.
I am hardworking, responsible, and a quick learner. The welfare of the animals always comes first for me. I truly enjoy farm life and appreciate both the physical work and the opportunity to continuously learn new skills.

Experience with Horses:
Over the years, I have gained diverse experience working with horses. I have spent time on horse farms in Spain and Africa, and I have cared for several foster horses ranging from young horses to seniors. These experiences have taught me flexibility, responsibility, and how to adapt to different management styles and environments.
I used attend Parelli Natural Horsemanship lessons, which strengthened my understanding of groundwork, communication, and respectful handling, and I am always interested to see how other people do it. I am confident riding in all three gaits, both in the arena and on trail rides.
With a height of 1.60 m and around 50 kg, I am well-suited for smaller horses and larger ponies, as well as full-sized horses. Don’t let my size throw you off tho, I am well capable of physical labor ;)

Most importantly, I am always eager to improve. I believe every horse and every animal teaches us something new, and I value every opportunity to develop my skills further, whether it is in riding, groundwork, stable management, or general farm tasks.
