I had a great time on the farm. Gaylene is a really nice woman and the tasks varied. The Workawayers usually spend the night in the barn, so you have a private area and an own kitchen. The food is good and you can wish for certain foods. We were often taken on trips to the city. The property is really nice and quiet and the animals make it even… read more

Good experience! I had a nice time at the farm, Gaylene is helpful and never let me lack for anything.
I rode a horse for the first time and visited White Rock. The dog Max is really dear and needs a lot of company.

Gaylene is a very friendly woman, treated me as family from the first minute. I never really worked on a farm, but she will explain everything. Food is really good. I could tell her what I would like from the shops and she ordered it online. A few days during the week we would have dinner at her house.
The work is not too hard, and its possible to… read more

We got to do a lot with the horses (caring for them, riding them and going on trail rides) If you are a animal fan you will find lots of stuff to do. We stayed in our own room in the barn (because we travel as a couple) and had an own bathroom and kitchen. There was a pregnant kitty so maybe you’ll see little kittens when you come here. There is a… read more

We stayed with Gaylene for 3 weeks on her hobby farm and really learned a lot! We did a lot of outside work and got a lot done on the farm.
Even though we had no experience with horses, we took care of the baby horses and Gaylene taught us everything important. So you really don't need any experience with horses!
In addition, we took care of the… read more

I have spent 3 three weeks at Gaylene’s farm, and it has been a great time!
There is always something to do when you’re there.
The work varies quite a bit. I spend a lot of time taking care of the dogs, Max and Stella, whom I will miss quite dearly. The rest of the work was mostly different types of gardening. We spent a lot of time making a new… read more

Marlene was a joy to have here at our farm!
Not only was she always on time and willing to learn new tasks, but she did so with a smile on her face!

Marlene wasn't afraid to get dirty and take on any task that was asked of her. She jumped at new opportunities and the work she did was always done well.

Personally - Marlene was always happy and… read more

I have spent 5 weeks at Gaylene’s super lovely farm. She took me very spontaneous and made sure I feel comfortable! Since day one I loved her home. We spent time together but had also time for your own. I can really recommend to visit her if you enjoy the farm life and a very crazy but at the same time very adorable woman. It never gets boring… read more

When you first walk into Gaylene's ranch you will be amazed, that I can guarantee, it's a magical place! It is set on a large, but manageable acreage amongst the woodlands of South Langley with nature parks dotted around in the vicinity. Look out and you will see deer, black squirrels, Canada geese and even bald eagles flying over head. The… read more workaway housing and outbuildings are of a very high standard with all the amenities you could ever need. A private room, bedding and towels are provided along with food for communal cooking.

The standards of horse care are very high here, they are training and breeding cross boarder reining champions so the standards of workmanship are naturally also expected to be very high. In addition to the daily yard chores, mucking out, feeding, watering, fetching hay etc. general grounds maintenance is required almost on a daily basis so don't worry, your days will always be filled with activity. In addition a second ranch is presently being built which is 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk away so building work there is also required. Hard work is apart of daily life here, it is mostly physical so you will finish most days tiered, but satisfied after a days good work in the fresh country air, looking forward to sitting down for the evening dinner or even the chance of a Western riding lesson with Vicky.

I was grateful to be accepted here despite only having two weeks time to offer. My duties were varied and included: The type of general house work to be expected of living in shared accommodation, hoovering, moping floors, cleaning bathrooms, toilets, shower, kitchen area. Gardening, transferring soil/grit, re-landscaping around the pond, moving stones and earth, blowing/collecting leaves. Building work, including putting up wooden panels for the new stables, installing roof and wall insulation and laying down rubber stable matting. Yard work, including mucking out horse stables, and outdoor pens, re-feeding, watering and hey. Handling the horses is limited depending on ability and experience/time on the farm (note first sentence, second paragraph). The ranch is well equipped and a good range of equipment is provided for all tasks which helps in always providing a professional standard.

I can certainly recommend a workaway experience here, I would love to see it in summer also. As with most things in life, you get out what you put in. Enjoy!

I didn't stay with Gaylene long due to having to head home early for family reasons but the time I spent there was awesome. There is a lot to do and plenty of work which I really enjoyed.

I've really appreciated how I have been greeted at Gaylene's house (castle). For sure a ranch necessitated a lot of works and it kept me active! I like the fact that there is a large variety of task so there's no routine. We do work hard but it is a really fair trade considering all the accommodation, the good food and how spoiled we are here!… read more
