Detalhes
Descrição
We are located near Priddis, Alberta near the beautiful foothills of the Rocky Mountains. (15 minutes west of south Calgary) in the country.
I own 3 dogs, 2 cats in the house and 5 horses. I have grown up with horses in my life from a young age and continue enjoy spending time with my horses at home or in competition.
Currently we have 5 horses under our care and they stay overnight in a barn and are turned out daily.
I am currently not able to accommodate vegetarian or vegans
Require someone with Horse experience (able to handle them) and love of animals to help out. Also person MUST HAVE previous riding experience to ride my horses. I don’t consider trail riding, riding experience because the horses are dead broke. I don’t currently have any horses for beginner riders.
I have a busy schedule; so a self starter type person is very important. Also someone who works well with others. Some lifting may be required so a good fitness level would be required.
Due to how busy I am, we will need workaways to have Their OWN 🚙 in 2025 We don’t have the time to drive people around.
Accommodations provided and food.
Zero tolerance drug policy. Limited alcohol
If you are all about posing for your personal Instagram account we are probably not the place for you.
We require working visa (IEC) in order to stay with us.
Sorry we can’t accept anyone travelling with pets. Our household is full and they will not be accepted into the pack.
