Description

Hi everyone,
I'm Helena, 30 years old from Germany but left the country to see the world in Feb. 2020 :-).
I worked as an Au Pair in Australia in 2014 as well as in Canada in 2020. After that I followed my biggest passion and worked as a trail guide/wrangler at a horse ranch in BC for almost 1,5 years. I also got the chance to get an insight to the cutting-horse world and worked as a loper after my guide experience. I spent the winter 2021/2022 in Saskatchewan and worked as a dog handler/doing dog sled tours and also helped with/attempted some sprint races. After that I went back to being a wrangler at a dude ranch in BC for the summer.
After leaving Canada I have kept my passion for dogs and horses alive. The winters I worked in swedish Lapland - far up north close to Kiruna. I took care of 80-90 dogs, trained the young ones and big teams, trained new employees, guided daily and several day tours and drove big sleds with people sitting on it as well as smaller teams. In the summers I worked with horses in Spain and Norway. While in Norway I was a stable hand for all general chores at a boarding facility I got the chance to work with Lusitanos on a big stud in Spain the year before. I was mostly responsible for training the younsters (1-4 year old) and working with them on the basics like haltering, lead training, being touched and handled, starting to lunge up to preparing them for the first few rides. I really enjoyed this work, building a relationship based on trust and patience and see the progress especially with more timid horses .
So I know what physical demanding work looks like even in rough conditions like -20°C and below or +40°C and I do not shy away from it. I like to be busy especially around animals. I also helped out some hosts with gardening before and really enjoy the work especially around vegetable and fruit gardens.
I'm a very open-minded and easy going person that likes to try and learn about new things. In my free time I enjoy cooking meals or bake some sweet stuff just as much as I enjoy to eat it afterwards haha.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I have been riding for over 20 years and worked at many different rasches, farms and stables. I have a master degree in pedagogy and worked in human resources while I was studying. I was an Au pair in Australia (2014) and in Canada as well (2020). I also have plenty of experiences with dogs since I worked as a dog handler/sled tour guide for four seasons (Canada and Sweden).
I love being outside and I have no problem with getting my hands dirty. I also enjoy to cook and bake and like to try out new things in the kitchen. In my free time I do sports regularly to keep myself fit.
