Description
Hola! :)
My name is Sofia and welcome to my page!
If u don't have at least 2000 hours with horses , dot request. Just to save both sides time!😁
I am a 37 year old Uruguayan living on a 15 hectare section, located approximately 17km away from La Pedrera the beautiful and serene Uruguayan Atlantic coast. I am around a 3 hour drive from the capital of Montevideo.
I run a horse trekking by the beach and wetlands.
UPDATING !!!
VOLUNTEER NEEDED BETWEEN October 1st TILL March 10th aprox
I'll be needing someone to feed horses , dogs, and cat, fill up the water tanks, some weedin, and the day by day maintenance of the Farm and also we will be working with Alfredo our lovely nieghbor with whom we are growin a nice organic vegtable garden . Of course we will enjoy the yummy harvest!
I am searching for 1 or 2 persons with LOTS OF EXPERIENCE with H O R S E S as well who have a farming or ranching very experience background and experience to live here from october until end of the summer maybe..
I am a mother to a large animal family, , 2 Golden Retrievers, 1 cat and I am also currently running 13 horses.
Experience with training young horses will be awesome! but ok of you don't feel confident.
We have 5 young horses (all kinds of breeds including quarter horse, appaloosa, thoroughbred and arab) that require continued training and attention.
A basic spanish is needed.
Naturally, like with any farm or ranch there are a variety of tasks and jobs for you to be occupied with, including cleaning, light maintenance of the farmhouse, outbuildings and fences as is necessary. There is also approximatelyl.
But there is also plenty of free time for you to enjoy the location and all that it has to offer! I am only a short 2 km away from the uniquely beautiful coastal beach and sand dunes. It is almost always deserted and allows you to relax your mind and body whenever you need a break.
Only serious offers please! I look forward to hearing from you...
Thank you for visiting my page!
