1856.0. "Looking for practical work on a US-Ranch" by RTOMP2::STEFAN_ADMIN (If it can be done, let's do it ...) Tue Mar 01 1994 08:09

    I am writing this message for a 17-year old girl here in Germany. She
    wants to spend her summer holidays 1994 in the US on a horse ranch.
    She is been riding since 6 years and doing very well. She wants to
    help, work and (of course) ride.
    So if you have any contact address or if you own a ranch or if you have
    any other hint, please send me a mail to MARCUS GRABE @RTO ir
    RTOEU::MGRABE.
    
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello!
    
       I am Vera, age 17. I live in Germering next to Munich, Germany. I am
    looking for a 6-week practical work this summer in the US on a horse
    ranch. This shouldn't be a professional job but a kind of free or
    low-cost living for my work.
    
       I started horseback riding about 6 years ago, when I was 12. I
    practised it several times a week and took part in 2 courses of an
    instructor, who teaches the Linda Tellington-Jones method (TTEAM), and
    in other courses.
    
       Then 5 years ago I started riding Icelandic Horses and specialized
    in this breed, which I like very much. I participated in several
    courses of high qualified Icelandic or German trainers and joined in
    two tournaments for Icelandic Horses, where I could achieve the 4th and
    6th rank.
    
       Unfortunately I haven't any deep knowledge of Western Riding, but a
    lot in English Dressage. I am used to all kinds of farm works and work
    with horses, so I would like to go to a ranch, where I could work and
    ride, preferrably Icelandic Horses or other gaited horses, like Paso,
    Paso Fino, 
    American Saddlebred, Tennessee Walker with Tolt, Running Walk,
    Foxtrott, Stepping Pace, Rack, Slow Gait or however it is called. 
    
       I know that Icelandic Horses are not that popular in the US, so any
    breed would be good! My main interest is to combine horseback riding
    and to get to know the US, so a wage is not mportant. I'd like an
    arrangement where I get free or low-cost lodging and food for my work. 
    
       If you have any questions about me, if you have any hints, how to
    get the chance for a practical work or if you own a ranch and want to
    correspond with me, feel free to contact me via E-Mail (VAXmail:
    RTOEU::MGRABE, ALL-IN-1: Marcus Grabe @RTO, CompuServe: 100120,1405),
    fax (0 11 49 89 346918) or phone (0 11 49 89 8411769). E-mail and fax
    are addresses of a friend of mine, who will forward your message to 
    me, so don't be confused if there is a delay in answering.
    
       I hope to hear from you soon,
    
    Vera.
