Need help to prepare a pasture for horses : some posts to plant (some are already in) and gate to fix + electric ruban to put around
Shelter to repair
Ideal would be for 2 people at the time
I am Isabelle, 63 yo, widow, living in a farm. My two children are 29and 30 . Cassandre lives near by and Tristan is further away.
I have a small business with 3 employees
I have as well a very small business with training dressage horses and I have myself 9 horses to look after. My idea of dressage is more artistic than sporty.
2 dogs ( border collies) are part of the family
For musicians, there are 2 pianos in the house that you will be able to use
You will have a bedroom for you but there is only one bathroom so we’ll have to share it
The place where I live is a village (700 inhabitants) at 500 m high. We can have snow in the winter and it can be hot in the summer
We are about between one hour and 1 and a hafl hour from the nearest ski resorts in the Alps and 20 minutes from a lake (lac de paladru))
The region is very pretty although not very known with lakes, castles to discover.
You can stay for a small amount of time (from 2 weeks) for a very precise job or for longer as there are always things to do to help keeping the place in good shape!
I am a vegeterian
No smokers prefered or you will have to smoke outside the house
You will need to be independant in your job
I will prefer someone having feedbacks on his page and with the workaway insurance to avoid any problems
I hope to hear from you very soon.
And I am sure I can find more to do if you are interested
See you soon
Isabelle

Alojamiento
The accomodation is a guest room in my house. There is a double bed in it.
There is only one bathrom in the house so it is the same for everybody
You need to be easygoing (the bathroom is getting a bit old, but may be you can help renovating it!!!)
The guest room has a double bed, that's all, so if you are 2, it has to be a couple...
We are one km away from the train station (to go to Lyon, Chambéry, Grenoble) so you can walk to it if you are sporty (easy to get there : downhill, more difficult to come back!)
Algo más...
Very nice area, hilly and very green.
Lots of things to see : castles, lakes, mountain, towns
Not far from lyon (50 minutes)
You will see rural France and you will be near lots of interesting sites
I speak english, so it will make things easier
you will need to be organised and be able to work on your own, I won't be able to help, I am usually busy this is why it would be good if 2 good friends were coming together so you don't feel too lonely

I am glad we could help them change their mind in a difficult period and wish them all the best for the future
They really got on well with our way of living (a bit hectic I must admit, specially because it was a time with a lot of professional and personal stress)
They learned how to help with the stables and cleared all the wallpaper (50 years old?) in bathroom and toilet so it can go to the next… read more

Not just the work was fun the new experience for me as well. all the talks we had have and all the new people I met made me feel like I am a part of their life.

Very easy going, always happy, trying (and succeding) to do its best, it was a pleasure to have him around and we feel very sad that he had to go back

Tim understood how to handle things.
he understood that I was busy with work and that I didn't know anything about DIY so he had to find his way through tools and work to do
He managed all that very well. The shutters are now newly painted and I hope Tim will come back again
He only… read more
