The Experience

Our ranch requires assistance with our horses helping humans become better people. There is a natural connection that brings horses and humans together. Our horse herd requires horse caretakers to ensure these intelligent creatures have all their needs met. Volunteers will also experience the grounding power of the horses. Our helpers will help with feeding and assist with horse care and experiential learning situations.

It was my first experience and I really loved it. If you come at Kelly's the farm, you will never be bored. I am discovered lots of news things. I loved being with animals every days . And when I am arrived, my english was not very good, but Kelly never left me out and she is helped me. Moreover, she always listened my requests ( for leisure activities) and she found solutions to please me even if the timetable was busy. Thank you very much Kelly.

Amazing experience in the farm. If you want to discover the farm lifestyle, that's the place to go ! We need to feed animals twice a day every day and during the day, we have several activities depends of the farm needs. You can repair fences, checking cows, riding horses and having horse riding lessons to assist. Every volunteers help for the house cleaning, dishes and cooking. It's was a real lifestyle experience, hard work but worth it !

Had such a fun experience here I learned a lot and I even stayed longer than I had originally planned. Kelly welcomed us and made us feel part of the family, she always answered my questions and encouraged us to learn. Be prepared for lots of work but it is so worth it !

I just loved the place and the people I was lucky to be surrounded by. Would recommend to anyone who loves to work with animals and doesn't mind to get up quiet eaely for it. I learned a lot from Kelly over the month i was there and miss the place and the people already.

I had the most incredible month at the farm. Kelly is an amazing woman and taught me so much during my stay. Her the farm is a little slice of heaven and I fell in love with all her animals. I cannot thank Kelly enough for all the lessons and skills I have taken away from my time with her, it was an absolute honour helping her and getting to truly immerse myself in the farm life. I truly felt at peace staying here at the farm and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Kelly!!
