Description
I live with my husband and 6 year old daughter on a hobby farm in south east Melbourne, I have a background of natural horsemanship/ classical dressage/positive reinforcement training and if people are keen to learn about horses, I am happy to show/teach you what I know. I love nature, animals, good company, and learning new things :)
During COVID I started some hobbies including dabbling with plants/veggies and sourdough bread with a background of loving baking beforehand. Hubby loves wheels and outdoor activities, he can speak chinese much better than me (I am an ABC).
We would love help with some animal care/help around the farm - we have 2 weimaraner dogs Smokey and Willow, / pair of fairly new goat twin babies which we need to handle more plus other goats and sheep, horses in the paddock, and there is always something to do with maintenance and projects on the farm.
