Descrição
My husband and I are retired and now spend all our time caring for our horse farm. Our farm is situated on 60 acres and there are 52 horses of various breeds here. We are non-profit which means whatever we earn in giving riding lessons, leasing of horses and corporate programs go to the welfare of the horses and the upkeep of our facilities.

O que é isso?
Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
People who love horses and love being with horses will benefit the most. We also teach those who want to learn to ride in exchange for caring for the horses. We are also involved in conditioning horses for endurance riding; therefore people who want to learn and understand the sport in-depth will also benefit.
Ajuda
We are looking for people who love animals and would like to experience our way of life. Our horses require people to help groom and feed them and keep their stables clean. We welcome people who have riding experience to help exercise the horses. We also participate in equestrian competitions in the country. We do charity programs for disabled children and those with special needs. Our programs use equine facilitated learning and coaching methods to assist development in children.

Vic and Mat stayed on our farm for 2 weeks. They are a vey pleasant and hardworking couple. They were very quick to adapt to our way of life and got along so well with our staff. Very polite and very accommodating of our simple, 'no frills' ways. I believe any host would be privileged to have them as part of their team.

My time at the farm was very nice and enlightening. I never worked with horses before so I learned a lot in my two weeks there. I met so many great people and everyone was very nice. Every morning we would groom the horses and in the afternoon we were able to ride. Overall it was a great experience.

Auntie and everyone was very nice. There are many horses on the farm which is nice cause you can ride a variety of them.
