I have spent the last ten years working in the entertainment industry in the plastic oasis that is Los Angeles and need to get back in touch with the rhythms of real life. I love travel, meeting new people, learning new things, and being of service. I am non judgemental, honest, and competent. I am good with horses and other animals. I'm so excited about workaway and hope to connect with amazing people :)

In the few weeks she was here, Lily got a LOT of horses ridden! She progressed both Smarty and O.B. to the point where you can fairly say they are "well-started", and she taught Halcyone from the ground up (from never a rider on her back, to walk-trot-canter calmly, outside of the round pen). She also gave good refresher rides to Bennett and… read more

We want Lily back! She is truly experienced and professional with horses, skillful in all areas around the farm and open to get into any kind of jobs as needed.

I worked mostly with the horses, and enjoyed schooling young horses and… read more

I stayed two weeks on the farm, working with horses, assisting with sheep, and doing some other chores like changing bed linens in the guesthouse attached to the farm and fixing a fence that the sheep knocked down. I found the horses and other animals to be well cared for. The horses were all gently broken young horses - not suitable for someone… read more
