Descrição
Hi!
Thank you for visiting my profile page :)
About me:
My name is Ellen, I'm 27 years old and I live in the Netherlands, together with my boyfriend and 3 cats. I have studied forest and nature conservation and thereafter marine biology, which I completed in 2019. Since then, I have been working as a marine biologist for an international company. My hobbies include horse riding, hiking, scuba diving, cycling, any outdoorsy activity really. I also very much enjoy curling up with a book, playing a game with friends or watching some Netflix. I'm a social person and love making new friends but also appreciate peace and quiet time to myself.
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a place to go for ~2.5 months between January and March 2024. I would very much like to spend a large part of this time working with horses: helping to take care of them, (trail-)riding / training them, perhaps guiding guest rides, etc. Besides this I would also enjoy things such as taking care of other animals (dogs, cats, cows, sheep, you name it), maintaining riding / hiking trails, gardening.
I'm interested in any location that offers adventure and the possibility to go horse riding in nature (in the months of January to March), currently looking at places such as Namibia, Argentina, Costa Rica, southern Europe.
My experience:
I have been riding horses since I was 7 years old. For the first 10 years, I mainly had dressage lessons, with the occasional jumping lesson. On early holidays I found out that I most enjoy trail riding, there's no better thing than exploring nature on horseback in my view. Therefore I have spent the past 10 years mainly doing trail rides in different places, with one of the highlights being a 5-day trek through Iceland with a herd of free running horses. For the past two years, I have been riding an Arabian gelding twice a week, mainly in the forests near our home but we also have dressage lessons in the arena every now and then and enjoy doing ground work too. Horse wellbeing is my top priority and I love learning more still about topics such as natural horsemanship, horse anatomy, gear fitting, hoof maintenance, etc.
I hope this gave you a little insight into who I am, if you would like to know more please send me a message!
Cheers, EllenInteresses
