Descripción
Hello, we are a young family of four in Southern Denmark. We, Gwen (37), Thomas (40), Karla (7 years) and Matti (5 years), live on a farm, together with 11 horses (Icelandics, Knabstrupper and others), two dogs and five cats. We spend our free time with riding or driving our horses, taking care of our farm land and enjoying family time with our children. We are Germans, that moved to Denmark, because life is just a lot more relaxed and better than in Germany. We live in Northern Slesvig, in the Border Region between Denmark and Germany.

Of course, we can pick you up in any major town, which is easy to reach for you in the area f.ex. Flensburg (Germany), Aabenraa (Denmark) which both have a major train station or Sønderborg (Denmark) which has a train station and a domestic airport with flights to and from Kopenhagen.

We offer a cultural insight in the German Danish Border region with it's unique blend of German and Danish culture. Additionally you will fully participate in our family life, meals, and social activities. This may include going on riding tours, taking yoga class or taking riding lessons (depending on your riding skills) or joining on our regular tours through the countryside with our horse Waggon. (Riding is not a requirement or seen as a mandatory task. It is seen as a leisure activity.)

Ayuda
We are looking for a kind and friendly person who loves horses and working around (and possibly with) them, doesn't mind beeing outdoors and as a bonus has a driver’s license for cars. We would like that you can speak either German, English or Danish well. We are a non smoking household, and therefore are asking only for volunteers, who will respect this and do not smoke in our premise.
Depending on the time of the year and your preferences, there are different tasks that you can help with. We will plan all tasks together with you. Please mind, that the outdoor work requires appropriate clothing (jacket, rubber boots or other good shoes). If any safety gear is needed, it will be of course provided by us.

In the House:
- Help with cleaning
- Home improvement projects (Renovating the Bath Room, Putting up Lamps and Curtain Rails, New Flooring, etc.)
- Cooking
- Watch the children for an hour or two

Outdoors:
- Taking care of the horses, e.g. cleaning, feeding
- Fencing
- Taking care of the garden
- Making fire wood and works in the forest
- painting house/stable
- cleaning tasks
- building tasks of different types

In return you are offered to take part in (other) family activities. We enjoy a good boardgame in the evenings or watching Heartland. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

I spent two weeks at the farm with Gwen, Thomas, Karla, Matti and the animals and it feels like I've known them forever! They live in a beautiful area of southern Denmark which offers much space to retreat from your day to day life which was exactly what I needed. Staying with the family felt easy and light from the first moment I met everyone and… read more continued throughout my whole stay. I was integrated right into the family's day to day life and helped out with the usual barn chores as well as finishing off the roof of Thomas' workshop or doing something in the house. I got lots of chances to accompany Gwen when she went out for work or with the kids and got to see the area on the danish side as well as some of Schleswig-Holstein. I learned a ton from Gwen about horses since she has a wide knowledge about everything concerning them and it was super fun to work with her to for example train trailer-loading with sweet Jara or going for short drives or walks in the forest. One of my highlights was definitely that I got to drive the sulkie with Prins and that Gwen took me with her to a team penning clinic! Whilst working with Thomas I got to extend my at first not-really existing carpentry skills since we isolated and finished of the roof of his shop as well as installing a heat pump up there. My highlight here was finishing up the isolation under the hot roof while we listened to Taylor Swift! It was really rewarding that we finished up the project on my stay and it was super cool that Thomas let me try out everything like for example sawing and helped me when I didn't know how to continue on with something and was always patient with me. In general I learned just a lot by chatting with Thomas and Gwen since they know so much about various topics concerning their works which was super cool and helpful for my studies as well. Besides the work part we spent lots of time playing board games which I absolutely loved since I'm not used to usually playing a lot of them, but it was a lot of fun and I found a new favorite game as well :D I also got to explore Sonderborg on one day by myself which was a cool city at the sea not too far from the farm. What else can I say? My stay was really nice and refreshing from my usual uni life and I missed just being outside a lot instead of staring at screens the whole day. Doing chores, working with Gwen and Thomas, hanging out with them and the kids and playing games helped to relax and really come back home feeling just happy and refreshed. They took me in like I'm a part of the family which from a workawayers perspective really is the best you can get since it makes you feel right at home. I can totally recommend staying at the farm and I'm sure it wasn't my last time there! Love, Fiona :)
