I couldn't have wished for anything more. From the moment I arrived the whole family was so welcoming and by the time I left it felt like a second home. Carleigh and Colin are super open and go out of their ways to make your stay fun by taking you to regular karaoke nights, boating, hiking and other family adventures. Working is fun if you are aware of what it takes to care for animals and work on a the farm. Motivation, a good mindset and eagerness to learn will definitely be noticed and will bring opportunities that make your experience even more incredible. Thank you for everything <3

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.

I couldn't recommend enough staying with Carleigh, Colin and their kids. They are an incredible family who welcome you and create a home away from home. Living alongside them for 6 weeks was amazing and I learnt so much about their lifestyle and the farm work. If you love the outdoors, physical work and spending time in the company of children you'll have a great time with this family❤️

I have no words to describe my experience at this the farm. It's pretty strange writing a feedback about it because words will never be enough! I had the best time of my whole life here! I spent a bit more than two months there and if it wasn't for the cold I would stay more for sure! I experienced the real canadian the farm life and I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things that are going to be useful for my entire life, and to go in a lot of adventures! Carleigh, Colin and the kids are just the best! They are honest, kind but strong, and they will make you feel welcome from the first day!

This was my first experience, and was wonderful. I couldn't imagine something better. Colin and Carly are lovely people, they always make you feel comfortable and i've loved spending time with their kids. The landscapes are breathtaking and I also had the chance to do some beautiful excursions. I would have wanted to stay longer, but I'm sure I want to come back. I am very happy of the month that I spent at their house. Thank you for the opportunity! <3

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm, one month was definitely too short a stay. I've learned so many new skills, saw many new sights and met many great people. Carleigh and Colin were very welcoming hosts and made a real effort to help me enjoy my time in Canada with hiking recommendations and excursions out into wider BC. If you have a strong work ethic and are good with kids, you will enjoy your time here I have no doubt.
