Help
I need help with my horses and other animals, so must have good experience working with horses please, able to head collar, handle, lead, and ideally know some ground work or lunging skills. At the moment the horses are not rideable. There is also some general maintenance indoors and outdoors, some carpentry if possible! and some house cleaning, gardening and land maintenance as well. The farm is also a bed and breakfast house, but there are no or few guests in the winter. I am looking for one or two people usually in Spring and Winter- including the Christmas period please.
