Descrição
I'm working as an upholsterer in an Interior-Shop in Switzerland. I love horseriding and the work with animals. I have a driving licence for cars and motorbikes. I enjoy skiing and snowboarding. I‘m a happy person, and I like to meet new people. I love live music and good vibes :-)
I'm riding horses since 23 years now and I also enjoy the work around them. I already worked in a horse-breading stable abroad for several weeks, I like to remember this time. Now I try again to find some nice expirence.

Not only are you extremely able at EVERYTHING but also so hardworking and FUN company.
I cannot recall you making any minor mistakes at all, or ever loosing your good humour. You have an amazing memory and are so quick to grasp to see what is needed to be done and react accordingly. And… read more

I’ve left here now a month ago… and reached home a week ago… It took me quite a while to write a review because at first, I didn’t know what to write exactly. The stay with Sophie, Kieran and Cecily was great. It is such a good feeling to know that I have found new friends in Ireland, I would love to go back and visit again some time… But not only… read more the family, as well the two yard-workers Tom and Padraic are very nice guys and easy to get along with.
I could ride horses almost every day and had enough time to do my own work or to read a book or so. It is very satisfying to take care of the animals, and every evening I knew, why I was tired and hungry. Kieran is an excellent cook and the meals Sophie prepares are delicious. Cooking together was always fun, and when something went a bit wrong, we could laugh about it. Some evenings they took me to a restaurant or to a local event. Like that I got to know new peoples and could see some of the Irish culture. On my off-days I had the choice, whether to go somewhere or to stay home, read a book, to go for a walk or what ever…
My days here were very horsy, and I loved it! In the morning at first, I got the stove going to have it warm and cozy in the Livingroom and Bedrooms in the Basement, where I and another Workaway-Girl lived. After that I went out to the yard and did some mucking out and feeding together with Tom and whoever was there as well. When we had gotten the horses back in their stables, we went for breakfast at the house. After breakfast the days were very varied; riding different horses, lunging, get young horses used to people by brushing them, walking around with them, longreining them ect.. and there is always the time in between to cuddle the dogs or the donkey <3. Once I went with Kieran to catch mares with their foals for the vet from the field… (It’s wonderful to see so many horses in a herd being happy outside.) In the evening I’ve fed some of the horses again and turned them out.
While riding the horses I could improve my fitness and ridingskills, since I haven’t ridden for four months before I arrived. I learned to have a softer hand and a lighter seat. It is amazing how the horses react on that, when the rider adapts to the way how they are ridden. All the horses are very fine to ride. After a while I could ride many different horses and could handle the stallions. It’s all a question of time, the will to improve and reliability. I could ride a lot! We went to the arena, on the streets and for hacks. I loved hacking on the nearly endless fields with jumps and little streams. We checked on cattle and other horses on the fields on horseback.
At the weekends in summer, we usually we went for competition, where I would help around, maybe warm up a horse by lunging and take photos and videos. In autumn there were jumping courses or hunting trails for practise, where I could always join and watch if I wanted to. If I would have stayed a little longer, I could have ridden myself as well.
I stayed here for 10 weeks while I was traveling Europe for half a year. Leaving here and Ireland at the very end of my travels was sad. Somehow, I was happy to go home and see my family and friends, but it was very hard to leave here and the People who live there, because I begun to feel like home there as well.
