The Experience
We run a busy friendly equine training and livery yard based in the beautiful Shropshire hills. We require someone to muck in and muck out 😀 A huge variety of horses from serious competition horses who show jump, event and do pure dressage to youngsters and happy hackers. We do require a little experience but are happy to teach anyone wanting to expand their knowledge and expertise.

Andy and Terry are amazing. They welcome you as if you have always been family and never fail to support you. They are simple people with good hearts and very high moral values. The work consists of looking after the horses, giving them hay, cleaning the stables and collecting their poo. They do this for four hours a day, the rest of the time is free. Andy is an exceptional and imaginative cook. What can I say, a truly unique experience.

Terri and Andy are two lovely people that open their home to travelers from all over the world and make you feel like part of the family. It was awesome having my own room and own space to unwind. The work is easy and peaceful; feeding and watering horses and picking the paddocks in the a.m. and feeding, watering and mucking a few stalls in the afternoon. Lovely location with a 10 minute walk to town with grocery store and discovery center with lovely walks. 2 miles to an awesome castle and wonderful hike to Flounder's Folly. Great access to the train and trips to Shrewsbury, Ludlow.

This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Terri, Andy, and their family are incredibly kind and caring. The animals are just lovely. The place is peaceful, perfect to recharge, surrounded by wonderful people. The work is physical but totally manageable. And the food… unbelievable! Huge thanks to Andy. I've never eaten so well! Truly an unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experience.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this experience and the people who have been part of it. I felt so welcomed and loved at Terri and Andy's house that it truly seemed like I was living with a new family away from my own. The tasks were all very well explained and easy to do. It's amazing to see the passion that Terri and Philippa talk about the horses and how they have no problems on teaching you things. And soon you get to understand why that passion exists. I've bonded with the horses in such a magical way that the hardest part was to say goodbye in my last day.
