I would like to invite you to a beautiful, scenic Rancho in Poland and let you take part in making it even more beautiful :) I am a romantic dreamer :) I would like to meet noble people who want to help me to make true all my beautiful romantic and noble dreams :)))
Some years ago, I was left with 6 horses on my own to take care of them. Only one was mine, freshly bought, but the five other horses belonged to a woman who promised to help me with them and to teach me riding, but she only brought her herd of horses at my farm in winter and soon left not caring about her own horses, neither their food, vet services nor everyday care. Being without any experience with horses – suddenly I was faced to tackle with herd of 6 horses including aggressive stallion! Gee... it was very difficult and hard time to me :) But I have managed! :) Of course, nobody from locals believed that an inexperienced person would manage with horses without any help, but I actually managed with them very well :))))) Since that time I breed horses on my own. Until now I have bred 5 new horses of a stunning beauty :)They are great sport mounts which need training now...
So now I would like to meet some good, noble people with sincere, good intentions who really would like to help me to continue and develop my breed... People, who love horses and can train them are always welcomed here, but also other enthusiastic people who want to help here in any other way...
I used to live in a big Polish city, but I always dreamed about living close to the Nature. I have very good memories from my childhood, when I was spending most my vacations at farm of my Grandparents. I have just loved it! I loved to help at the farm - to feed animals, to do some gardening... to ride an old horse, to go by wagon to the forest meadows to make hay for the horse and other animals... It was so wonderful, happy time of my childhood :) I try to live the same life style :)
When I became adult, my next big passion became web designing. My first trees I was planting at my websites, but soon I felt it was not enough, so I bought a farm and moved here to create here my dreamed paradise at the most beautiful part of Poland – in The Hilly Masurian region (Mazury Garbate).
I live at the farm alone doing everything on my own since years. It's a lot of work for just one person, so I thought that it would be good idea to invite some people, who would like to take part in my projects having in the same time active vacations in the outdoors.
Here is always something to do, the biggest amount of work is always in spring. Most time I am working on my farm on my own. I have learned everything – agriculture, breed, gardening, planting, fencing, cheese making, bread baking, renovating – all on my own. From handbooks, books, internet. I may share with you my knowledge.
But I am not experienced in training horses. I have got theoretical knowledge and excellent approach to horses. I know their habits and how to deal with them. I love my horses and they love me. I need practical help in training my horses. I also want to learn the training in order to be able to train my next horses on my own.
The old Masurian house which I bought together with the farm is traditional one building made of bricks, stones and wood. I have renovated a part of it. I need help with some more renovating: kitchen, rooms, bathrooms, corridor, so such skills like plumbing, plastering, concrete making, tiles sticking are needed, but also simple cleaning and some basic tasks which do not require building skills. Some building skills I can teach.
I also plan to adapt attic over the house for an apartament and basement for sauna, baths, summer kitchen. Besides I would like to renovate one of the stables and adapt the attic over it for a hostel for my volunteers and future participants of riding camps which I plan to organise here.
I have got here 5 hectares of a young orchard and another 5 ha of meadows, 1 ha of a forest. Some ponds, stream. I want to fence all land around so I need also help with fencing.
My forest I plan to transform into useful paradise park so it needs to be cleared, some branches and wood have to be removed from here. So I need someone for collecting the branches and wood from it. Also someone to cut down some bushes and branches.
Well, the Rancho is beautiful and full of various tasks which should be done, so any help is welcomed :) In return for the help I can offer a free stay at my farm, home cooked meals and interesting active vacation at my farm where you can learn a lot of new skills – farming skills (gardening, planting, fencing, breeding) and renovating skills (polishing, wall building, plumbing, plastering, concrete making, tiles sticking). Also you will have chance to see the scenic neighbourhood around. I will take you to some longer trips around as well. I will show you local clean fish lakes, some wild hiking trails. If during your stay at my farm will be a festival nearby – I will take you to it as well. I have tourist maps, bikes and the region is amazingly beautiful – worth of hiking, biking, horses riding – whatever :) So, if you feel you would like to be part of my beautiful project and have valuable vacations at the same time - feel free to come :)
In order to apply please send me your message. In return you will get an application form. Please, fill in and send it back to me. I will contact you soon to discuss the details of your arrival and stay here. If you have any questions - feel free to ask them.
Love, light and laughter :)
