we are a working horse property/riding school. nestled in the glasshouse mountains, 10mins from the train station/Beerwah town ship and Australia zoo. we have lots of animals that you will be involved with their daily care, morning and afternoon feeding times, 6.00am start- approx 10.30/11 then 2pm start in arvo, through the day you have free time if you want to watch and help with training the showjumping horses, go for
walks or just enjoy the peace and quiet. The days work can vary depending on what is have happening on the farm, some days may stretch longer than 5 hours per day, some days shorter.
Evening time we like to site down as a family for a meal, thru the day you can help yourself to breakfast and lunch.
there will be some opportuneaty to do some riding either in a lesson situation or go out for a trail ride through the neighbouring farms.
there is usually breakfast and lunch available, on a self help basis, as well as dinner, which is usually cooked as a family meal, there are shops only 10 minutes away if you require anything.


we invite you into be part of the family. we enjoy a chat around the dinner table in the evening, breakfast and lunch we are happy to supply most of the time, you can help yourself. We can have 3-5 staff working together, so been part of a team is important, the work isnt hard and usually the same routine, thro the days can change depending on what is happening with the horses. you have free time between the feeds to either relax, go for walks, go and watch the training of the showjumpers, or any other activites youd like, you get 2 days of thru the wk.

When I first arrived I felt quite uncomfortable. The room was quite dirty and Belinda didn’t say much to me in the morning. The work is what you would expect when feeding that many horses but there are far more than 5 working hours in the day. I felt like I was thrown to the wolves and expected to know what to do. I think the communication on the farm as a whole is poor. If you don’t mind the extra hours it is a good spot to gain horse experience if you don’t have any. The views around the property are quite nice and there are also a lot of hikes close to the property that are worth going to.

Was a great place to volunteer if you don't mind hard work. Loved the animals and the people were great. Stunning views all around of the glasshouse mountains.

I had a really great time at Belinda’s Farm. Being in the Nature and around animals all the time is so beautiful. Even tho you are “working” it doesn’t feel like it especially if you like being outside and with animals. It’s always fun.

I'm so grateful for the great experience on this farm!! Belinda and Phil are lovely people who made me feel welcome from the first day on.
Working here I got to learn lots of new stuff even though I already had years of horse experience. Though you don't need experience with horses you should definitely not be scared of animals and be open to learn!
In your time off you can go on walks/hikes, visit the surrounding towns and cities or even take riding lessons!!
I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves animals and doesn't mind getting dirty.
Thank you Belinda&Phil!!

Great experience immersing into life on a horse farm! I had no prior experience with horses but was looked after by the amazing team here and shown the ropes quickly!
If you don'tind getting down and dirty and love animals then this is the place to go! You're responsible for feeding all the animals on the farm including horses, pigs, cows, sheep, goats. If you're lucky you get to hand feed some of the new borns! You really get to build a relationship with the horses on the daily feeds, and in the down time get the odd ride in! And the location is unbelievably beautiful!
