I spend a month with John and I had a wonderful time. It was really nice spending so much time with the horses, the tasks were really fair and I had quite a bit of free time to relax. John was super welcoming and always made sure we were having a good time :)

I had a wonderful time staying with John! The daily tasks mainly involve feeding the horses and cleaning the farm, and they only take a few hours each day. There are many horses to choose from, depending on your skill level. However, I would recommend this farm to more experienced riders, as most of the horses are quite young. Even if you feel confident in your riding skills, there is still a lot to learn. John is very welcoming and friendly. He regularly checks in to make sure everything is going well. I would definitely recommend this experience to other Worldpackers!

My stay with John was my first Worldpackers experience! I stayed for 3 months and learned soo much about being adaptable and working with horses! During my stay, I biked to surrounding towns and rode almost everyday (I miss Pookie very much). My favorite moments included visiting the Cliffs of Moher with everyone, jumping for the first time, and my walks with Pixie in the countryside! John has a consistent routine with the horses that includes mucking and feeding in the morning and poop picking and feeding in the evening, leaving time for fun and relaxation :-) Can't wait to return <3

I dont know where to start. This will be ur family, ur home, u will have so much fun and miss everybody in the end. The job is fun, easy and very little, the hours are respected and tons of free time during the day + 2 days off. U'll live in a big and comfortable caravan, with all your meals. John is an amazin host, felt like a dad. Daily routine is to ride the horses, so u need experience, but if it's basic riding, John will help u improve, great teacher! Life here is chill, calm, and fun! U'll make lots of friends. Defenetely a "to do list" experience. Miss you all! Thanks for everything❤️

I had such a great time on my first worldpacker experience! The work is not too difficult; you do feeding and mucking divided into the morning and evening, and are working with other volunteers. The horses are wonderful, and I loved riding. There is a variety of horses, including young green horses who are rewarding to work with. I learned so much. If you'd like, you can travel with John to assist with his equine dentistry, which was fascinating. John makes sure everyone is comfortable and has a great sense of humor. I will really miss this place!
