Détails du programme
We are based in a lovely location in the Victorian countryside but also in proximity to the capital city of Victoria, Melbourne, so that you can enjoy exploring Victoria.
Our property is approximately 1 hour from Melbourne CBD in a semi rural location and is close to beaches and wineries. On this property of 8 hectares we have 3 houses and we usually have 14 horses. The horse facilities include a flood lit all weather dressage arena, a round yard, riding paddock, show jumps, stables, undercover tie up stalls and a tack room.
This is a great opportunity for horse enthusiasts to build on their knowledge and horse experience through working with experienced horse professionals.
Activités et horaires
We are looking for motivated, mature, proactive non smokers - (females or couples preferred) who have extensive experience with horses to assist us with daily activities on the properties including feeding, rugging, lunging and riding horses as well as undertaking general property maintenance . Previous experience with performance horses, stallions and young horses
Règles
We provide a relaxed supportive family environment with the opportunity to be involved in taking horses to clinics and competitions. Past backpackers have found it to be one of their best and most educational experiences.
We have many excellent references/ reviews from past backpackers who have stayed with us and we are happy to share these with you. We generally have 3 girls helping out at our property and some have stayed with us for long periods of time (from 6 months to 2 years). We prefer to take backpackers who are going to stay a minimum of 2 months or more.
In addition to our own house there are 2 other 2 BR houses on the main property which are fully self contained so you have your own space, ability to cook and socialise with others. We also have a swimming pool on the property which is used regularly by everyone on the property over the summer months.
