Description
Hello!
my name is ronja and together with my great animal family we life in western stara planina mountains on our off grid farm, 40 km from Sofia.
our mountain here is rough. you should be fit, have good shoes and mountaineering experience as well as being a fast thinker, be able to use an axe and make a fire in the oven. i m not up to babysitting city kids.
After some crazy experience i made i only accept ppl that are over 25 y old and have at least 3 years of work experience.
It s a farm here, there will never be a 5 h day, sorry! but i pay for good effort and help.
definitely a place for ppl that are ok to go the extra mile.
i need help with all the horse work, cleaning, feeding, fencing with e-fence and general care.
my 6 ponies need riding and the youngsters and my grandpa shetty d like some light work, a bit of liberty, walks and brushing and lots of cuddling. also i need a helper sometimes, to break them in for driving and things like that, sometimes 2 hands are not enough on 4 hoofs ;)
i brought some of my horses with me from germany, some i ve bred myself from my mares. we re a family and my horses happiness and needs always come first.
my horses are between 5 and 23 y old, from shetty to heavy 130cm pony
you should not be heavier then 65kg to be able to also ride my gotland and our youngster and very sporty, as my place is steep and the work sometimes is tough.
you need to be an experienced horse person that s highly reliable and a good and calm rider that enjoys riding out in the mountains.
my horses are all really tame and well ridden. they don t get hit and they don t get screamed at. i will not allow any lack of self control and politeness around them.
they life in open stable with access to grassy fields, in winter they get hay and oats, mineral and salt they get all year long.
i ride mostly without saddle, we ride dressage, classical dressage and work a lot with body language. i do some liberty and some ray riding. in summer we go to the villagers horse races too, welcome to join us! :)
our farm is really off grid and i only slowly manage to make it real nice for living. so outdoor shower, outdoor toilet. but you have an own room with fireplace and nice view.
it s a nice opportunity for ppl that love ponies and mountain lifestyle and don t mind the lack of luxury.
i ve been infected with the horse virus at the age of 12, got my first own pony with 18, have learned from some pros and completed a long ride and i m sure you will be able to learn a few things from me and i hope i can learn some from you too.
i m a bit of a loner and my place is very lone so if u re really really social and need lot of human company maybe u ll feel a bit alone. (doggos, cats or horses company u ll never lack here, promise!)
i do have real nice neighbors tho, we meet up for brunch with rakia, celebrate together and help each other a lot too. I live in bulgaria for 9y.
i don t like hippies, "spiritual" or religious ppl and other conspiracy theorists.
here are two big nice dogs and three cats too.
if you re up for some balkan adventure with a real nice crew (and me, haha) contact me and please include your education as a rider and horse person as well as what your motivation and goals in the work with hoses are in detail.
we re looking forward hearing from you!

Hébergement
my place is a 100 y old mountain farm. it has zero luxury maybe ;) but a great view. it is not so bad. u got an own room in the main house with a fireplace, i live in another building next to it. shower and toilet are outside. i sleep outside on the horse field or the hay storage in the summer but i guess everyone how she likes ;)
food is vegetarian and plenty, lot s of coffee, in the evening a drink usually. u can smoke in your room if u need to, i smoke in my room and in the kitchen too but in the kitchen of course not if u d mind. here s WiFi but not too huge data plan.
we share the housework equal, i m a great cook and i don t mind the dishes so stuff should be smooth ;)

my place is a bit less then 1 h by bus or train plus 1 h walking from sofia. once u got used to the climb u ll be alright going to sofia for a day or night. also here is one of the nicest places in the balkan mountains, the iskar gorge, great for hiking, climbing and so on, check it out.
