Descrição
Dear Workaway Travellers,

I live on a small horse farm in the north of Bavaria. A westernstyle riding school with nice horses, two dogs and a cat at our place. A riding hall makes good weather all the year round. Our tiny village is surrounded by beautiful nature, many forests and hills.
Next little town is within 4 km distance, bigger cities in about 50 km.
Tourists and people from around visit us to learn how to ride horses and to understand them in their natural way of acting, also doing groundwork with them all based on natural horsemanship.

I'd like to host a DIY handyman/woman who likes horses and helping in and around the stable. An at least 3 weeks stay gives us the chance to have a good experience. Which means that in return you take part in our family life and learn about horses as much as you want.

So possibly seeing you soon!?

Always have a save travel!

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Joshua) para o anfitrião

Staying at Uschi & Reinhard's place was one of the most amazing things to have ever happened to the both of us. From the moment we arrived to the one we left, we created and shared so many memories with the "Kunz!?" family that I think we've both solidified ourselves a home away from home.
Our work at the farm and around the home, though there… read more were neccessary jobs to do every day, was never boring and - with the help of fellow workawayers Adam & Steph - we even learnt how enjoyable it can be to clean stables with a good team and some hearty German music. :) During our time we re-wired the fences for three paddocks, pulled one down completely, dusted, cleaned and repaired various parts of the barn, picked LOTS of apples and made - only 200L - of apfelsaft, weeded and planted Spring's bulbs in the garden (and toyed with the idea of writing secret messages to Uschi!) as well as lots of raking leaves, mowing, weaving vines and some general tidying-up of the yard. During Uschi's busy time in the October holidays, I also helped her in taking lessons with the kids - a unique opportunity that I was lucky to have.
It wasn't all work though - occasionally we got a day or two off completely to visit a nearby town, or hang out with Leo and his band in Halle, who were a really easy-to-get-along-with group of energetic and passionate people who lived for their music - we had a great night with those guys. Otherwise there was always a free afternoon for a trip to the beautiful and mystical Felsenlabyrinth, or - generally our favourite privilege of all - a ride through the simply stunning countryside on one of Uschi's beautiful horses. I can't quite describe in my inadequate English words just how much I am in awe of Uschi's knowledge for her animals and how impressed I am by her training methods, the horses truely were a pleasure and a gift to be able to work with every day.
If we weren't outside, being inside the beautiful old house, with Uschi (or Sebastian's!) cooking, as well as the conversation that just seemed to flow so easily amongst everyone, was just as much of a treat. On the occasions that Sebastian visited, we got to go bowling, went out for drinks, pool and pizza in Marktredwitz, and we also got to go to a game of Ice Hockey to see Sebe’s team play in Selb. At night there was always free time to enjoy as we wished, while we were there we had two bonfires, visited Wunseidel for its Kneipennacht with another fellow Workawayer, Sophie, or just enjoyed the company of the people in the house with conversation, learning some German language and board games - Tittiewibble! I still maintain that Uschi's Käsenoodel beats Sebastian's, but perhaps his Schweinebraten and home grown tomatoes take the cake. :D
I can't thank you both enough for the warm hospitality and the unforgettable time we had there - undoubtedly we will see you and all your beautiful animals again sometime in the not too distant future.

Steph and I have just finished our first experience as helpers on Uschi and Reinhard's horse farm in Germany. They are the most wonderful people you will meet and they welcome you into the family from the start. If your lucky you’ll get to meet their two son’s Sebastian and Leonhard. Sebastian’s cooking is not to be missed, he is a chef and… read more Leonhard’s personality and musician talent will ensure you are never bored. We started off with the plan of staying 2 weeks and ended up being there for a month. What an experience, we couldn't have jammed packed more work and fun into our first help x experience if we tried.

They have 12 beautiful horses on their farm, 7 which they own and 5 others who their owners stable them at Uschi and Reinhard’s farm. Their two dogs Katie and Butch are awesome, Katie is super smart and very cute, while Butch is the biggest 2yr old puppy your ever going to meet, don’t let his size scare you, he is so much fun to play with and is all puppy at heart. Lilly is a very timid barn cat but she enjoys a gentle pat, while Lucy the house cat will be crawling all over you looking for affection in no time. Along with the two Indian walking ducks that is the whole gang.

During our stay we woke up at 7:30am every morning and tended to the horses, after breakfast "Broadside" we would then muck out (clean out) the horse stables; all 12 horses. A hearty hot lunch followed and then we attended to fixing the necessaries around the farm; in our short time we managed to mow and clean up around the yard, dust out and dust proof an entire section of stables, mend a sliding stable door, refix a barn door cover, pull down and refurbish 3 electrical paddock fences and pick about every piece of fruit their fruit trees held. After 2 weeks we were joined by another Australia couple, Josh and Jemma and the work and fun continued.

But it wasn't all work, during our time Uschi and Reinhard arranged for us to stay at their son Sebastian's apartment in Munich and we got to attend Oktoberfest, their other son Leonhard took us to the Felsen Labyrinth (stone forest labyrinth; really cool). We got to go to a local lady's bee hive and tried fresh honey as well as fresh milk from the village cow farmer. Uschi took us to Nurenburg and we ventured around the local castle and streets. We got to participate in the plate smashing ceremony before Uschi goddaughter's wedding. We savoured the flavours of our hard work with freshly made plum cakes and fresh squeezed apple juice. Uschi’s cooking will ensure that you are never hungry and generally laying around afterwards feeling cheerfully plump. We enjoyed several bon fires on cold nights, drinking wine, beers and listening to Josh (fellow aussie) strum out some good tunes on his guitar. Best of all Uschi showed us how to ride horses western style and the rides through the forest on horse back were absolutely magical. We would really love to return to Uschi and Reinhard’s farm and if time permits, its number 1 on our list!

Josemiek stayed only a week but it seemed so much longer. She was very good in helping and working on her own all around the horses. She also was very patient in introducing me to my computer ;-). We loved to ride, to talk, to laugh, to cook, to eat - we had a good time. I can recommend her best to all future hosts and hope that she will visit us… read more

I had a great time during my stay, and I wish I could have stayed longer. Uschi is very flexibel and generous. And I have met nothing but nice people in and around the stables. This was an exchange of knowledge too, that was very interesting an well appreciated.
Not to forget the laughs we had and the good food.
What else can I say. Thank you… read more

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Anne) para o anfitrião

As this was my first workaway experience I had absolutely no idea what I should expect, but from my arrival at the farm until my departure yesterday I had a great time there. Uschi is a really special and open-hearted person and her way of handling horses is - in my eyes - simply great. The work you have to do is hard but you'll get used to it… read more

Anne left today and we already miss her. She is a very nice, uncomplicated girl that fits in at once. Her time at our horse farm wasn't easy because of my imobility due to an accident. She worked very hard, was loved by my riding guests and fullfilled her tasks in a very responsible way.
Dear hosts, I can recommend her to you without any… read more
