Saga Working Holiday
week by week

Join us at work at the farm 4 hours a day, and ride at least 3 hours. You learn a lot of "natural horsemanship" the way we use it. Long lovely rides through forested hills and over picturesque pastures on Natural Horsemanship trained North Swedish horses. You will be given a thorough briefing on these sturdy strong horses and how we ride them.

You sleep in a room on the farm in a room with 2 or 1 bed, Breakfast, lunch and supper is served with our family or in our farmhouse pub, where you can linger in the evenings.

The work will follow season, fences, cleaning stable, painting, training horses, cutting grass or just indoor work in the workshop.
