Description
I have a 10,000square meter farm in Tenerife with 10 horses, dog's, cats, birds, chickens alot of which are rescue animals.so only for real animal lovers. I live 10 mins drive from the famous windsurfing paradise El Medano in a rural area but close to a bus stop and local bars and restaurants. I'm looking for keen eager people who can help with the horses , housework, elderly care and gardening . You must have experience with horses and be confident around them. English speaking people only please. When it's couple's I'm happy for the other person to do non horse tasks. I also only confirm workaways only once I have there flight details due to time wasters. I do prefer workaways to stay a minimum of 1 month or ideally longer. You must have experience with horses be kind and compassionate. A lot of the horses are retired competition horses who enjoy their retirement. The help is mornings or afternoons for 5 hrs, 5 days a week , the rest of the time is your own. Horse riding is possible but is not included in your 5 hours so you would have to do an extra one hour/two hours a day if you want to ride You must be experienced and competent around horse's. I am looking for longer term stays of a minimum a month.
Workaways over 20 years old with previous workaway experience ,with feedback from previous hosts and you must be able to speak fluent English please .Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

High standard, Double bedroom which sometimes you have to share, depending on the number of workaways here, bathroom, meals provided, wifI. Shrared kitchen but loads of private outdoor space.
Autres infos...
Endless outdoor activities, close to bus route. Beautiful island to explore. 10 minutes to the local beach. Horse riding for competent rider's by agreement with myself, this will incur extra work time to allow for horse riding, this is not part of workaway allocated jobs.
