I'm so grateful for the great experience on this farm!! Belinda and Phil are lovely people who made me feel welcome from the first day on. Working here I got to learn lots of new stuff even though I already had years of horse experience. Though you don't need experience with horses you should definitely not be scared of animals and be open to learn! In your time off you can go on walks/hikes, visit the surrounding towns and cities or even take riding lessons!! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves animals and doesn't mind getting dirty. Thank you Belinda&Phil!!

Great experience immersing into life on a horse farm! I had no prior experience with horses but was looked after by the amazing team here and shown the ropes quickly! If you don'tind getting down and dirty and love animals then this is the place to go! You're responsible for feeding all the animals on the farm including horses, pigs, cows, sheep, goats. If you're lucky you get to hand feed some of the new borns! You really get to build a relationship with the horses on the daily feeds, and in the down time get the odd ride in! And the location is unbelievably beautiful!

Overall a enjoyable experience. Animals awesome, scenery awesome. Most days felt like an exchange for cheap labour — but I'm glad I could help. Wish there was more opportunity and interest to be involved beyond that.
