  Description

  Greetings, dear people! I am a businessman and an adventurer and find pleasure in activities such as horse riding and trekking. I would like to invite you to my horsefarm by the beach, which was set up three years ago.
  
  Let’s maybe start with myself a little:
  
  Other platforms have always been my forte but right now I’m looking forward to experiencing Workaway.
  
  I think yoga, meditation, psychology, and everything related to health are very interesting. After my graduation studies in Chennai, I spent around half a year traveling in the north of India and experiencing the cultures of Delhi, Punjab, and Himachal. It has been a life transforming experience to cover a distance of over 3000 kilometers from Delhi to Kerala by road.

  There are two horses located on the farm. If it is not too much trouble, I would like you to assist with the clients and the horses as well. Interested persons will participate in every horse activity.
  
  If you are more than capable, you may be able to assist the students in training the horses and give riding lessons. We will be happy for any inputs in building the farm!

  Accommodation

  It’s calm and picturesque where the vintage home is situated by the beach thus creating a perfect getaway. The location of our place is ideal as it is close to the beach which has great views plus nice sound of the waves. One of the entrances to the house is on Perumathura Road and one of the side gates opens directly onto the beach. The house consists of a total of three rooms. Here, guests will be able to find a private room, complete with a pleasant double bed, a locker, a dresser, and a ceiling fan so the room is always fresh at night. For assurance of privacy, the rooms can be secured with a lock. There is one washroom which is in the common area.
  
  We are also happy to provide meals throughout the exchange period and will ensure volunteers have food on both working and off days. If you like and when I am free, we can also eat the meals and have nice talks.

  Her friendly, curious nature makes her a favourite among children, and she loves running around in open spaces, tossing her mane in the breeze. Bella may be small, but her energy and joyful spirit fill the farm with life, reminding us to smile and play a little more every day.
  
  She enjoys gentle grooming, playful walks, and sometimes just standing near you, asking for attention with her bright eyes. Bella truly brings happiness wherever she goes with her naughty but lovable ways.

  With her graceful movements and attentive ears, Jhanvi listens carefully to her rider, responding softly and guiding them patiently, whether they are taking their first trot or learning to canter. She is playful yet composed, bringing both joy and a sense of safety to everyone she meets.
  
  Jhanvi loves being groomed, enjoys long walks under the morning sun, and often rests her head on your shoulder, reminding you how comforting and beautiful a horse’s companionship can be.

  Tiya is our 4-year-old bundle of energy and love, a beautiful cross of Labrador Retriever with a heart as big as her wagging tail. She is incredibly intelligent, always quick to learn new things, and seems to understand exactly what you need – whether it’s a playful run, a comforting cuddle, or a loyal companion by your side.
  
  Tiya loves to greet everyone with her bright eyes and happy spirit, making visitors feel instantly at home. She enjoys morning walks around the farm, chasing butterflies, and sitting quietly near the horses as they graze, keeping a watchful yet gentle eye on everything.
  
  Her favourite moments are when someone scratches her behind the ears or throws her favourite ball across the field. Tiya’s warmth, playfulness, and sharp mind make her not just a pet but a true member of our family, spreading joy wherever she goes.

  She loves gentle pats on her neck, enjoys slow morning walks around the farm, and will often nudge you softly for a treat or a bit of attention. Pushpa is patient with children, kind with beginners, and always eager to share quiet moments under the shade of our trees.
  
  Her big, soft eyes and gentle nature remind us daily of the calm and kindness horses bring into our lives. To know Pushpa is to love her, and she has a special way of making you feel that you’re exactly where you need to be.
