Description
We operate a therapeutic horseback riding program for people with a disability. Lessons run May - August. Our program is a fun and rewarding environment if you enjoy people and horses! Intermediate-advanced horse experience and/or experience in working with people are required for these months.
In March-May we are looking for Helpers to work with and prepare our therapy horses for lessons that start at the end of May. For these months we look for people with horse handling and horse care experience.
From end of May-early August we run lessons 3-4 days / week. Helpers will prepare arena for lessons, and either help in lessons as a horse leader or sidewalker.
Outside of lesson and prep months we look for helpers too. Other jobs may include exterior painting, facility maintenance and small projects. In these month, Helpers should enjoy time alone, as we only have accommodation for one or for a couple.
All year around Helpers will prepare buckets and feed horses. Experienced riders will have opportunity to ride, walk and do groundwork with the horses.
Fluency in English is required.
Please contact us for more information!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Yukon is a vast and beautiful land. Canada's north provides opportunity to see wildlife without driving long distances. Many people from around the world come to the north to see the aurora. We have access to trails and hiking outside our back door. English and french are spoken.
Aide
During the summer months, Helpers help with lessons and lesson preparation, preparing feed buckets, feeding, grooming and exercising horses, and general facility maintenance. Projects could include fixing fences, painting, moving hay bales, gardening, cleaning tack, watering plants and looking after a small vegetable garden.
Outside of lesson months, duties are preparing feed buckets, feeding, grooming and exercising horses . Projects could include clearing deadfall, piling and burning brush piles, moving hay bales, light construction, general facility maintenance.
Winter months are quieter and there may not be enough things to do to get your hours, depending on weather and that's ok. Duties are preparing feed buckets, feeding, getting horses out when possible, and snow clearing and keeping gates clear of snow.

Hébergement
Helpers stay in a dry cabin with power ( no running water). You will have access to our house to fill water jugs. We supply your food and you cook for yourself. Limited shower and laundry amenities are provided on site. We have internet access. We are a non-smoking family and ask that helpers respect this.
Our farm is located 25 km from Whitehorse. There is no bus service. We look for helpers who are interested in a peaceful stay and who will enjoy time alone on your time off. We will provide opportunities to see the local sites and trips to town. If you are interested in exploring further or going to town more often, we ask that you plan this outside of your stay with us.
