Description
4H is a non profit social organization primarily for kids and youth but welcomes anyone who wants to visit our 4H-ranch with all the animals that live there. 4H has activities such as a forest riding school, weekly activities and summer camps. We practice learning by doing. A nice herd of elderly horses live here in an equine active retirement community, as well as goats, sheep, pigs, bunnies, guinea pigs, quails, dogs and cats.
Our connection to and being with the animals is based on their individuality. We use non hierarchical communication and as a way of being. The ranch is a place for kids to connect to animals, nature and each other. It can be lively during events but it is mostly a serene and quiet place, perfect for self reflection and creativity.
Teenagers assist in taking care of the horses and work during camps. Among our favorite things to do is ride the horses, play games, make our own pizza or sing songs by the fire.

Our farm is set in beautiful Swedish nature, forest filled with wild blueberries and wild animals.
If you are interested you could learn about horses, how they live naturally and how you can connect to them in a conscious way, also animal communication.
This is for you that love nature and animals.
Aide
We would like help with taking care of the animals; water, feed, clean and socialize. Tasks such as cleaning the house and help build something for the animals may be available and if you are handy there is general maintenance.
We also have a barn with crafts so if you are crafty you can assist making crafts or helping the kids that are visiting.
We also want to increase our vegetable garden, we have lots of space but not so much experience.
Your work will be individualized from your interests.
In the winter you can also help with plowing snow and taking down trees.
