Activities & Shift

All the horseriding activities are scheduled. So you know exactly what you have to do on what time and moment of the day. Everything has to do with horses and children, so it's necessary that you are a positive and enthusiastic person :)
Sometimes when it's not so busy there are also other tasks that needs to be done. It is very depending on the season: if the campsite full or not. When it's full (summer time) we have lot's of work with the horses (lessons). When it's less full, we have less work with lessons. But always stuff to do around the stable you can help with! :) Important: we work as a team and that means that we also have to help with other shifts and tasks when necessary. That can mean: a gardening day, help to organize the area, cleaning the sanitary, and so on.

Rules

We are very flexible with hours and working days. There are no strict days or rules. So if you want free on several days, you can get free :) We go with the flow! Important is that we clean the sanitary together (this is a fixed thing during the season).
We want to ask you to be flexible with tasks and any other things, because we learn that on a farm everything can turn out completely different compared to how we scheduled it (that's life! :) ).
