Description
We are a Belgian/Dutch couple who have moved to a farm in s/w France . We have 7 dogs and 6 cats and 5 horses. We are retired and enjoy making long walks in the beautifull countryside with the dogs. We are looking for help with general maintenance like gardening, clearing land , putting up fences for the horses and maybe some painting.
There is lots of hiking to do here and there is a mountainbike trail that runs next to our fields.
The village of Brillac is 10 minutes away on bicycle and the nearest town Confolens is 15 min away by car.
There is a Roman bath that can be visited and lots of old castles and old villages.
We have wifi.
No smoking please
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can also teach you some Parelli natural horsemanship skills with our horses.
We really love our animals so they live in the house with us. The cats and dogs ofcourse! So if you come and stay with us you must also like cats and dogs!As the cats will probably go and sit on your lap!
We are a relaxed family and like to enjoy life. We also love our siesta!

Help
We would like help with putting up a new fence for the horses. And to clear out the wood and cut down some dead trees. Then chopping up the trees for firewood.
Some of the fences also need painting. And to repair some our stone walls. And general maintenance.
