Description
Hey:)
I‘m Lilly, 24 years old and from Germany. I love travelling the world, getting to know new people, places and languages. I've experienced some amazing places through workaway, spending a great year in Canada working at farms and ranches before starting my Zoology studies in England two years ago. Currently on a gap year of my studies and trying to make the best out of it. Part of that is spending 1,5 months in the jungle of Peru working with monkeys from February on, so I will do my best to answer as quickly as possible to messages, however bear with me if it takes a couple of days until I have internet:) I'm open to any projects and love to help with any kind of jobs regarding animals, house building, gardening, etc. Living a sustainable and simple life is something I strive to do.
I’m an outgoing, positive and reliable person. I love to get to know new cultures, nationalities and enjoy helping people and creating something great together (even if it is as simple as a delicious meal). I'm fluent in English and German, however, currently I am also trying to refresh my school-level Spanish so any help is appreciated:)
You can make me happy very easily with some good food, nature and a good chat:)
I‘m looking froward meeting you!

More details about your skills
I love spending my time outside. In my free time I enjoy walking our dogs Scotty and Cinna. To train them and to take long walks in our forests and fields is a great way for me to switch off. However during the winter season I love being on the slopes. I go skiing and snowboarding with my siblings and my father every year since I’m six years old. During my week I’m a lot in the stable, as I’m riding my foster horse three times a week. Riding is a Hobby of mine since I’m little and since this summer I practice Natural horsemanship that I was introduced to while working on a guest ranch. Finding my passion to work with these amazing animals, jumping and going on long rides in the landscapes taught me a lot and always is a highlight of my day. To be honest, it is pretty easy to excite me for all kinds of sports, I enjoy exploring places by bike, definitely would love to improve my surf skills, learn how to properly skate, etc...

Working at the ranch was a great experience for me, as you not only learn a lot about yourself, but especially about handling horses in a fair way. You’ll learn to communicate with them on their level using the seven games of Parelli as well as skills in hospitality and housekeeping. It’s not a job you can do desultory as you are working hard in a… read more team, being able to rely on you taking the job serious and being passionate about your work with horses is essential to make this experience a successful one. The owners Martin and Bernie both have high standards and especially in the work with the horses you have to work hard to fulfill them.

Working with Bernadette you can learn heaps about horses, their communication and trimming. Working with her during arena sessions, even just watching her practicing natural horsemanship is very inspiring. It can change your mindset completely about how to to work with these great animals.
I can’t put into words how grateful I am for having the possibility of working with Raven. He taught unbelievably much and with the advices and knowledge from Bernie you could see a real progress from the work in the beginning til the end. Practicing the seven games of Parelli on a daily base were helping a lot when it came to reinforcing him and helping him with his sometimes nervous character when it came to cows and cars :) Bernie gives as many information as possible about natural horsemanship in general, specific topics like trimming or whatever you want to get into...its amazing how much effort she will put in you, if she’s sees you’re passionate and interested about natural horsemanship!!!

Martin is an amazing cook, always fun to be around and an outstanding foosball player (unfortunately we had to beat him a couple of times in the end as playing every evening with the team is great practice ;)). He makes the most amazing meals, the food is always fresh and his pancakes in the morning are outstanding, just as the veggie burgers and his Pesto Penne...( you can tell there is loads of good food on the table!)

Bernie and Martin will give you lots of great experience on this ranch, as long as you have the right work attitude. It is a job that asks a lot from you, learning about your own limits and boundaries. You will learn so much in return and if you are passionate about ranch work and open to learn natural horsemanship you are gonna have a great time working here. It was a hard decision for me to not come back next season, but I’m looking forward to come to visit to see everyone again!
