  • Descrição

    Descrição

    We are Ruth and Marja, originally from the Netherlands, and we have been living in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes since 1997.
    We live in a charming 200 year old Ardenner farmhouse, surrounded by about 20 hectares of land, woods and a small river. It is a peaceful and beautiful place, but life on a ranch also means that there is always something to do!

    Horses have been a very important part of our lives for many years. We have recently stepped back from our breeding programme, at least for the time being. We still have three older mares, our former stallion who is now a gelding, and several young horses. So horses are still very much part of our daily life, although we are no longer running a breeding business.
    We also have our lovely Jack Russell, Daisy, and our chickens.

    We enjoy living in the countryside and sharing our little piece of the Ardennes with people from different countries. We like a relaxed atmosphere, good conversations and, of course, a good laugh.
    We are not looking for help specifically related to a horse business. Instead, we are looking for people who enjoy outdoor life and the variety of tasks that come with maintaining a small ranch and a large property.

    If you love nature, animals, fresh air and don't mind getting your hands dirty, you will probably feel very much at home here!
    And if you love the smell of horses... even better!

  • Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We live in the heart of the beautiful Belgian Ardennes, so there is plenty to discover when you are not working.
    Nearby you can visit places such as Durbuy, La Roche-en-Ardenne and Bastogne, as well as castles, caves, forests and many beautiful villages and viewpoints.
    If you enjoy outdoor activities, there are plenty of possibilities for hiking, cycling, kayaking and exploring the countryside.
    There is a bus stop nearby, and we also have a bicycle that you can use to explore the surrounding area.
    We are always happy to give you tips about places to visit and things to do, and if we have time, we enjoy showing people some of our favourite places ourselves.

    Life on our ranch
    There is always something going on here, but what we do depends very much on the season and on what needs doing. We enjoy having people around who are interested in horses, animals and life in the countryside, and we like to show them what our everyday life is like.
    You may help us with the horses, look after the chickens, work in the garden or help with small jobs around the property. Sometimes we work with firewood or do some maintenance. We always do these things together and we are happy to explain how we do things and why.
    You don't have to be an experienced horse person or handyman. If you have never worked with horses before, we can teach you. And if you already have experience or practical skills, we are always interested in learning from you too.
    We usually find that one day doing things together and one day free works well, but this is something we can discuss with you. We want you to have enough time to explore the area and enjoy your stay with us as well.
    We live in a quiet rural area, so it is probably not the right place if you are looking for nightlife or lots of people around. If you enjoy nature, animals, horses and a peaceful place, and you would like to experience what everyday life on a ranch is really like, you will probably feel at home here.

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    We offer you your own comfortable apartment on the property.
    The apartment has:
    * a private bedroom
    * a bathroom
    * a fully equipped kitchen
    * a washing machine
    * your own private living space with TV (Netflix)
    * wifi

    You will have your own kitchen and are expected to prepare your own meals. We can provide basic groceries, or alternatively give you pocket money towards your food, depending on what works best for both of us.

    You will have your own private space, but of course you are always welcome to join us for a coffee, a chat or an occasional meal.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    We are looking for friendly, reliable and down-to-earth people who enjoy being outdoors, animals and rural life.

    You don't need to be an experienced horse person or have particular practical skills. Enthusiasm, common sense, respect for animals and a willingness to learn are much more important. If you already have useful skills, we'd love to learn from you too!

    Our home is in the countryside, so this is probably not the right place if you are looking for nightlife or a busy social scene.
    But if you are looking for peace, nature, horses, practical experiences and a genuine opportunity to experience rural life while sharing your own culture with us, you might really enjoy staying with us.

    For us, the most important part of hosting is the exchange: sharing our way of life with you, learning about yours, and enjoying the experience together.
