Such an incredibly welcoming place to arrive and work at for the month and a bit that I was there for. The views are jaw dropping, the opportunities to work alongside the horses is just out of this world! I met some really beautiful people here that helped me in developing my very lack of horse and confidence skills, into something where I felt completely comfortable in assisting in tasks with the farm. I wrestled with sheep in the mud, muck out stables, work outside throughout the duration of my working hours and enjoy beautiful evenings with Phil, Belinda and the other fellow backpackers.

I spent three weeks at the farm and fell in love with the atmosphere and animals. Phil and Belinda were great hosts and I got the chance to join trailrides. The work could be quite physically demanding, especially when there were fewer volunteers to share the workload. It also took me some time to feel fully welcomed, as some volunteers had been there for a long time and had already formed their own group. However, I eventually felt like a part of the group and was sad to leave the farm and the people. Overall, I feel like this is a great experience if you love animals and peaceful nature.

This was my first worldpackers experience and it couldn't have gone better! ๐Ÿด๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒ„ Phil and Belinda are great hosts and I'm so glad I was able to experience the beauty of the farm and riding school they created! If you love animals & nature you'll love life on the farm :) Work wise โ€” it was definitely both physically and mentally challenging, especially in the beginning, and we often went over hours. But once you became immersed into the routine and teamwork of it all and got to know and love the animals it just became a labour of love!
