We are looking for a trail guide and groom over the summer season and possibly for the next year. We cater for a maximum of two guests at a time which also affects the bonus payments.

The 3 horses are in a shelter which means that there is no normal mucking out routine. We are looking to buy a fourth horse this spring.

There is a riding ring for training the horses and the rides out are in beautiful countryside.

Please get in touch if you're looking for a fun and enjoyable place to work.

Requirements

A driving license is useful but not essential. English language is required but not Czech.

Own room with fireplace and double bed, house photos available on website.

Job Benefits

A 5m round swimming pool in summer (when guests are not staying), Cross country skiing in winter, apple/pear/plum/cherry/peach/nectarine trees and fruit bushes to have fresh fruit, use of the flat in Brno to get away from the farm, one day off a week and a week at Christmas and in the summer.

We also have helpers to stay from help and workaway to help with general and horse work. The work with the horses is seen as a shared responsibility between myself and my family and the groom.

Jobseeker Feedback

I worked with Huck on the farm for seven months during the Winter and had a fantastic time in Czech Republic. The three horses are great natured and you have a lot of freedom to work with each of them and go for beautiful rides in the forest and on the hills. The area is ever changing with the seasons and looks completely different in the autumn with the amazing colours, in the spring with all the leaves and flowers coming out and of course in the winter with the snow. This is a great opportunity to horse ride as much as you like in a relaxed, laid back atmosphere but there are plenty of other jobs to do if you like to keep your work varied such as fruit picking, working in the forest, planting trees, looking after the sheep and the two wonderful dogs. I loved walking in the forest and having the odd home brewed cider. I really enjoyed my time here with Huck and both his parents who stayed for several months. This position would really suit someone who likes to have independence and really get to know the horses they work with well (it's not like a commercial yard where you are expected to ride ten horses a day). I would definitely recommend the Keppler Farm to anyone who wants to work with horses without the competitive pressure and loves day to day farm life and being in nature (although watch out for the rooster, he's a bit of a bastard). Thanks Huck, Tim and Barbara for an incredible seven months. I will miss you all very much and hope to come back to visit soon.

I've spent 3 month on the farm working with these wonderful horses. Huck and his familly were very nice to me, creating a cosy friendly atmosphere from the very first day. Every of the three horses have its own temperament here, which keeps you interested to find the most appropriete ways of training and riding them. And you have an opportunity to try those and to do lots of riding in a lovely countryside as well as the other little jobs like forestry and fencing, and taking care of two adorable dogs and a couple of chicks and ducks. The area is beutiful, I strongly recommend this place to everyone, who interested in training horses and willing to work in a calm familly yard.
