Description
Marhaba, my name is Emad. I'm 33
years old, live in Petra and I've been riding and training horses all my life. I work as a vet nurse in the Horse Hospital in Petra and next to that I train horses for local and international races.
I have a stable where I keep my horses. I'm working on establishing a short race track which takes a lot of my free time. Therefore I'm looking for someone who loves horses to help me with feeding the horses, clean up the horse stable and the stable area. If you are an experienced rider, you can have a horse ride together with me.
The race is going to take place this November in the Wadi Rum Desert and the purpose is to qualify the horse for the international 80 km race.
I'd be really happy if you can stay with me for at least two weeks up to 6 months. During your stay we will be in close contact and we will support you with anything needed.
