Description
We have a farm with horses on the countryside one hour from Gothenburg i Sweden. We, Marie and Niclas live here with our horse family and of course – our cats. Maries parents also live here in a separate house, so we are two generations on the farm. Still there is always need for an extra pair of hands to help with the daily work, and so much more fun if we do it together.
The farm is a hobby farm, we both work full time at regular jobs.
We have a small scale breeding of Swedish ridingponys and expect a foal next summer. Our philosophy is to try to keep our horses in a horse-friendly and respectful way. We are in to French classical riding and natural horsemanship. If you are an animal lover a stay here is an great opportunity for you to be around horses.
The farm is located one hour’s drive from Gothenburg in Sweden. It is easy to catch a bus or train from here. The closest town is Borås, half an hour by bus. We have the best place here living in the countryside and still at the same time close to the city.
In the area there are a variety of beautiful nature with lakes and forests to explore. There are also a lot of culture to take part of.
We speak English, German and of course Swedish.

It was a very nice time!
I worked in a very beautyful place. I was there and helped Marie for the horses. I worked with an other German Workawayer and it was very funny. We fed the horses, cleaned the boxes and fields and did other things. We got the best Lunch and Dinner because Marie cooked very good, I miss her dishes!… read more
I enjoyed every moment of the past two weeks that I spent with you and your home. There really was a sense of home right from the very first evening. With each day it felt more and more like I had been here since always, while at the same time the days went by faster and faster. Still, I have rarely been so at peace with… read more
