    Description

    We are currently looking for help with gardening/building and care of our animals.

    We are looking for riders for the 2025, starting in middle/ to end March. If you apply as a rider , experience is necessary: Icelandic Horse or dressage background. 2 month minimum stay.

    The farm is home to us, about 30 horses, a few cows and 2 dogs and a cat. We are 15 km out from Enderby and have crown land all around us.

    We have a greenhouse and veggies garden to take care of and grow a loty of our own food. We may need some help with this as well.
    You will see wildlife visiting the farm and our place is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast.

    We offer a friendly clean room and we will provide laundry service as well.

    Looking for friendly, uncomplicated people, who love animals and the outdoors. Great hiking around here. In summer floating down the river is fun and there is always an option to explore the Okanagan area (Enderby to Kelowna)

    Please put into your application how you would travel and the timeframe you are applying for. Our place is located at the foot of a mountain the setting is naturally beautiful.

    Help

    For 2025 we are mainly looking for people who are good riders to help with the horses training. English riding, dressage and gaited Icelandic Horse, background.
    So lunging, riding , groundwork and all the fun stuff which comes with a horse. Very little stall mucking required.
    At times I may need a little help in my veggies garden or with cleaning.
    Or
    If you like gardening and building and have no expectation to ride that’s fine ,too. We usually have projects going.

    Friendly two bed room with shared bathroom. Family connection is a given.
    We do eat meat ourselves, but we can accommodate vegetarians, who eat eggs,fish and milk products, like cheese and yoghurt. We drink a lot of water , tea and coffee and sparkling water iin our home, but some juice or pop can be supplied as well.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Often we can accommodate minor allergy to single food items. Please ask, if there is any specific prolem.

    Please accept that full on Gluten allergies are to complex for me to handle on a daily base. I am gluten sensitive myself , but do not have a full on allergy.

    Lactose intolerance is no problem as we do have to watch this ourselves.
    2 dogs and a cat live with us in our home- allergies against pet hair, hay or dust will be an issue.

    Important please note:
    PLEASE note: No smokers, vapors or vegans for us - sorry this does not fit our family's lifestyle.
    I do have a sensitivity to strong perfume odor. Deodorant, especially non sweet in usual amounts and roll on or sticks are fine. But if you use excessive amounts of perfume or strong smelling shampoos or body products I will not be able to tolerate the smell in our home.
