Description
Heyho! First the classic Things :) I live with my Family (me=Barbara, Wolfgang =husband, Kids: Nina (11, Alex 9)) on really nice farm. We are open minded and really Family People.

At "work" we act in different Areas...

Dairy farm:
There is on the one side the dairy farm (small one .. with about 50 cows + calves & automatic milking) - so if you dont mind feeding cows & calves, and learn or broaden your experience with cows - just perfect ;)!!

Agriculture Service:
on the other side my husband offers agriculture Services (tractors, harvester for grass and corn, sowing machine, plough....) ... so if you love to drive with anything that makes noise and is loud and has a lots of power - you are the right one!!

MOUNTED GAMES/Horses
on the other side ... we have 5 Ponies at the Moment. My daughter is doing Mounted Games. So would be a PLUS if you do MG or PonyClub. Here in Austria there is not a big Scene for that - but we are also going to competitions to Germany and Czech Republic. For sure you can also go with us. It would be no Problem if you take your own horse with you!

There are several Trainers here also for jumping and dressage. If you also love Riding/MG and enjoy farm work - PLEASE Contact ;) We are waiting......

So a combination of at least two Things would be perfect - but you can try evrything and look what fits you best :)

Oh ... about our village - we live in the middle of nowhere (at least it seems so) - the next big City is Linz (20 min with the car) - oh yeah car - you can use one of our cars when you need. So it is not that bad ;)

Barbara, Wolfgang, Nina and Alex,
Thank you so much for hosting me. It was an amazing experience to get this special insight in the Austrian culture.
The farmwork was always fun and nerver too much. I loved the traditional food we (or better Barbara) cooked for us and it was perfect to learn new recipes. I stayed at your farm for 3 weeks and I was… read more

Barbara and Wolfgang were so friendly and welcoming! I could only stay one week with them but it was too short and went by too fast! I learned loads about cows and mounted games and got to go with them to a mounted games clinic with the Austrian coach.
I will definitely go back again, this time for longer!
Thanks for having me :grin:

Jessica is a great, hardworking and cool horsegirl. Doesnt matter what work - she will do without complaining. So sad that she could only stay one week so we had not much time for doing a lot. She was great with horses - also packed everything for the MG training we had… also with training Alex' pony - Thanks!!. Perfect with the kids - especially… read more

A really short week Justin stayed at our place. He is really a great person - not only a hard worker … interested in everything and you can have a lot of fun with him. Like the most male workawayers i lost him to the 'machines' so he mixed the food for the cows with the tractor or 'just' chopped wood with Wolfgang. He is very uncomplicated and an… read more
