Descrição
The Maruia Valley is central to everywhere and in the middle of no where! Springs Junction is the closest settlement, with Reefton being the nearby town, with supermarket, etc.
In the Buller region of the West Coast, South Island
Stunning mountains and rivers.
I own and train western competition horses. I am looking for help working and caring, feeding the horses. This involves mucking out, grooming, saddle preparation, feeding, cleaning equipment etc.
There is an arena and round pen on the property. There are good areas for riding outside.
I have been involved with horses all my life.
Training, starting, and teaching. Have allot of experience with Natural Horsemanship
I have been a competition Judge for Western Riding for many years and compete in Reining and Ranch Horse.
I do travel away with the horses, for competitions and clinics ,there maybe an opportunity to travel with me and assist me at these events.
I have horses booked in for schooling and starting this spring/summer 2023-24
We also have a harness horse and cart to get about on and you can learn about this also
I seek someone with good skills with horses, I am happy to help you learn western but you will need to be confident with and around horses.
If you have low level experience that can be ok as long as you are prepared to learn
There will be some gardening and maintenance work as well, which could include painting, building, assist with outdoor projects, re cycling, re claiming.
You will have your own sleepout that is well appointed with nice outdoor areas.
All meals are provided. You will need good foot wear, insect repellent, warm clothing, as you will be in the mountains. Also, if you can bring your riding helmet, that will be great, if not there are some available but cant guarantee sizing
This property is shared with my long time friend.
I seek people that can stay for 10 days or more. Happy to take single travelers, couples are welcome to apply also.
There are cats on the property and 1 dog, all friendly
Please, if you contact me, provide dates, your experience and if you do secure a spot and can't make it, PLEASE, advise me so someone else can book in
Please be honest about your experience with horses
Do not contact me if you un sure of your plans
Prefer that applicants are over the age of 20
