The Experience
We live on 127 acres located on a large lake in rural BC surrounded by wilderness. Volunteers would help with day to day chores such as fencing, pasture cleanup of rocks and sticks, firewood, building projects, cleaning of horse paddocks, care of livestock, chainsawing and use of tools such as weedwhacking and mowing for those who have these skills, saddling and grooming horses for those with horse knowledge and other ranching chores.

I had an absolutely amazing experience here. Coming from almost no horse background, I couldn't have imagined the thing I get to do and learn on horseback and off while I was here. Carleigh and Colin are very caring and loving host who try very hard to include everyone who comes here into the family and are supportive in every aspect you can think of. The company here I always good, the food is even better and I would never change one day for the world. If you are willing to pull your weight, there is no limit to what you can receive in return for them. Thank you Carleigh, Colin & Kids !!!

We felt like part of the family straight away! This was an amazing experience, we have made new friends for life and learnt a lot of useful new skills! Working with the horses was a dream come true and Carleigh really took the time to teach us about handling, saddling, groundwork and much more! We were very sad to leave at the end of our trip and hope to return in the future. The food, especially the desserts are top notch too!!

We loved our stay here so much, that we didn't even leave yet. Carleigh & Colin are great, welcoming hosts and the two kids are super energetic, but so lovely! You will come to feel like part of the family really fast! We enjoyed the yummy food and got to try tasty bison, bear and moose. Only for meat (and cheese) lovers! :D The conditions are very fair, you get to work a lot independently and can take your days off when you want. With horse chores you're more on a schedule. Be prepared to work physically and in every weather! Loved our time here & if we never decide to leave see you then!

The family is very welcoming, and you'll quickly feel like part of it. Since the accommodation is on the smaller side, only pack the essentials. Meat lovers will devour Colin's dinners! If you're interested in young horse training, this is the perfect place. There isn't much to do outside the farm, but Wednesday karaoke nights with the team are lots of fun. Volunteers working with horses usually have longer hours than those helping around the farm. We're very grateful for the unforgettable time on the farm and wish Carleigh, Colin, and the kids all the best!

I had an amazing experience during my month volunteering on the farm. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The hosts were incredibly kind and always made sure everyone felt included. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone considering a volunteer experience.
