Description
Hello!

My name is Agathe, I am 24 and I am a motivated young woman who started travelling as a Workawayer in June 2021.

After 4 years of studies in Montreal, I was looking for new experiences, a new way of looking at life. I wish to put my strength at the service of others to help on the farm/ranch. I am looking for human contact, sharing experiences and unforgettable moments. I am eager to learn more about a way of life different from mine, to meet new people and to share our experiences.

I have been riding horses for 7 years (from my 10 years old to my 17 years old), practicing English riding. So, I am very comfortable in this field and I would particularly like to help in animal care. Thanks to Workaway i spent time in a ranch learning western riding. I'm not perfect at it but i know the basics now and ready to practice even more!
I grew up with parents who always encouraged me to be curious about the nature around us. I like to spend time outdoors, do crafts, go hiking, gardening...

I'm a quick learner and I adjust very easly in diffrent situation. I'll be helpful around your place doing eveything you need and sharing time with you!

I am French but I studied in Montreal (Canada) for 4 years. My native language is therefore French but I am quite comfortable in English.

Laissé par le workawayer (Agathe) pour l'hôte (Be my all-around-ranch-hand ...)

I know its not the first comment I am writting but I still wouldn’t know where to start.

I want to say that I didn’t just joined a place of work but more a big horsey family that welcomed me just like if I was home. I can assure you, this is clearly one of the best experience I ever had and I wish I didn’t have to leave.

The second Randy… read more picked me up from the airport, I realize how amazing my stay will be. He immediately conforted me and made me feel so welcomed. Throughout this journey, I have always been more and more surprised of his good vibes and his dedication to his work with horses.

Besides of how funny he is, the experience he gave me was beyond my expectations. He helped me gaining confidence as well as developing my riding skills and my ranch life knowledge. I got to ride many horses, learn proper western riding and went on a lot of trail rides. Not to mention, the landscapes are amazing and there’s a lot of places to see. I saw so many sunrises and sunsets and felt at peace everyday. (I really wish i could share here some of the pictures i took for you to see how beautiul this place is !) On top of that, Randy’s family trusted me with catlle drive, pregnancy check, as well as cows’ vaccination. I discovered every aspects of the ranch/farm life in western canada and it was amazing. I also learned a lot about horse care and injuries, handling babies or working with young horses.

On the other hand, I must say that the days can seem long sometimes since there's always something to do. Even tho the everyday chores are pretty basic (feeding every mornings and evenings, cleaning the pens, grooming horses), there can be a lot of different, sometimes difficult|tiring tasks to do. However, IT IS WORTH IT.
I had the chance to meet Randy’s friends and family. There would always be some of them over ready to teach me their knowledge and experiences around a nice fresh beer after a day of work. I’m so grateful for eveyone I met and eveything I experienced.

I just left this place where I spent 3 months and the only thing I can think about now is to go back !

Future workawayers, don’t be nervous if Randy takes time to answer your questions or just simply text you back, he is a really busy man and you’ll understand when you’ll have the chance to work and learn by his side.

Randy, I forever thank you everything you taught me. I really hope I’ll get to see you soon. Lots of love to you.

Laissé par l'hôte (Come ride horses and help ...) pour le workawayer (Agathe)

Agathe changed my life lol. She was here for 3 months and made things so much easier for me. Every day she went above and beyond. We have a bunch of different horses with special feeding requirements and she never forgot any of them. I’d often have to ask HER what they were supposed to be eating because I would forget what we decided. lol She took… read more
