Description
We are Thorsten and Sabrine. We emigrated few years ago from Switzerland to France and live in a very secluded little paradies with our animals.
Thorsten works in the aviation business and I take care of our little farm with 4 retired "pension" -horses (they are originally from Switzerland, they enjoy now their retirement here in SW France). We have two Knabstupper mares of our own and occasionally they will have foals. They are all very relaxed, peaceful and friendly - perfect for somebody who would like to get (back) confidence around horses.
Our family is completed by 3 gorgeous dogs, 4 adorable cats and 9 charming chickens.
We are looking for someone who is quite independent and can also spend time on his own. E.g. by walking in the nature, doing sports or reading in the guesthouse or working for yourself.
You don't have to be horsefreak - we are also interested in carpenters, cleaners, permaculture, videomaker, nerds and/or handcraft people and a lot of other qualities. The only thing that is really important to us: please do everything with love, care and mindfulness.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can transmit everything I know about horses with an ethological approach in respect of the animal. I do have a diploma of the Swiss Stud (Haras National) and can learn you everything which has to do with horsekeeping including medical issues and nutrition of horses. But I will not teach riding lessons.
Nutrition, no matter horses or humains is one of my favorite subjects and I can give aou a lot of information for health and nutrition issues in humain and horses.
Please be aware that we are not french, that's to say even if I can speak french I cannot teach you in french. To really learn french you should look out for another host... But we can teach German :-)
Help
The areas we need help with are :
- everything that has to do with horse keeping: feeding, cleaning the stables and the tackroom, fencing, brushing the horses, hay making and maintaining the 6ha of pastureland.
- Another daily task would be taking care of our chickens.
Depending on the season some
- gardening tasks (we have a big vegetable garden) or
- some carpenter work (we always have carpenter projects to build) or
- some wood protection work (painting the terrasse, the window shelters...) or
- general cleaning e.g. some house cleaning tasks or
- special projects for sanitaryengineers or tilers
If you are a very good, horseminded rider you could also help with educating my Knabstrupper horses. They are used to saddle, know the basic things, but they need a lot of exercise. I do ride bitless and with the sense of natural horsemanship (eg Pat Parelli, Linda Tellington-Jones, Michael Geitner, Alfonso Aguillar...).
I cannot garantee you that you can ride my horses, it depends on how good you ride and also upon your weight.

Accommodation
You would stay on your own in our small guesthouse few meters away from the main house. It has a small living room with a kitchenette (incl. refrigerator and cooker), a bedroom and you have your own bathroom with toilet and douche. I can accomodate two Workawayers at the same time.
Special diaries are no problem: so if you are vegan or vegeterian or ... - just tell me.
What else ...
Our place is quite remote and there is no public transport. It is very quiet and calm. You must love nature and animals, and look for peace and tranquility, in harmony with nature and animals.
I really like to mention that we are looking for a gentle & careful person, rather calm. Not a kind of "pampam" person. Thank you.

We were also very pleased having you as our workawayer.
Ika stayed a bit more than two weeks and fitted into life here very quickly, she is quite independent and work on her own. She is hard working with always a smile and ready to have a go at anything we suggested. This was a pleasure!

My time with Sabrine and Thorsten on their farm was wonderful. I was warmly welcomed and made feel at home from the moment I arrived. Sabrine and Thorsten are open, beautiful people and ideal hosts. I got my own gite, close to the main house, with lots of privacy and very comfortable. Sabrine made sure I was very well fed, and I really appreciated… read more

The two weeks I spent with Sabrine (and Thorsten for a few days) just flew by. It started as a wonderful summer holiday with great hot days and a lot of sunshine before it turned into a more rainy grey time. But either way I enjoyed my time on the farm. The guesthouse is a lovely little house with everything you need, it definitely gives some… read more

WOW. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to spend time with Sabrine & Thorsten and all of their lovely animals. I felt this way every day of the 3-weeks I spent with them.
I was warmly welcomed, and immediately made to feel at home, given my own guest cabin to stay in, which was treated extremely respectfully as my own private space.… read more

I spent six weeks at this farm and I can only agree with the defintion of a 'little paradise'. Surrounded by a beautiful countryside with the company of a lovely tribe of friendly animals the place is an oasis of tranquillity and peace. I helped out with the horse keeping and general farm work and the work was always pleasant and stress-free.… read more
