Help with horses and farm in Seignosse, France

  Beschreibung

  We're a French-American-German-Swiss multigenerational family. We moved here out of passion, between 15 and 25 years ago, because we believe this is a truly special place in the heart of Europe. Cruising through the pine forests or along the white sand beaches for hours—often without encountering another soul—is, in our opinion, something quite unique. There are countless surf spots, and because the sandbanks and tides are always shifting, it never gets boring. :)
  
  We’re into all kinds of sports: some of us surf, others cycle, and some ride horses. For fun, we breed a few and take part in showjumping competitions. Right now, there are six horses in the paddock—all ages, all colors, all sizes, all shapes.
  
  Oh, and they share their space with five chickens.
  
  We’ve also adopted and cared for over ten cats, who now live happily in the garden and the barn.

  Arbeit

  We're looking for a reliable, experienced groom to join us and help with the daily care of our horses. Ideally, you’re confident with groundwork and lunging, especially with young horses, and enjoy working independently in a calm, natural environment.
  
  What You'll Do:
  Daily grooming and general horse care
  Feeding in the mornings and evenings
  Cleaning and maintaining stables and paddocks
  Groundwork and lunging (depending on your experience)
  There's always something to fix, clean, or organize, so a hands-on, can-do attitude is definitely appreciated!
  
  What We're Looking For:
  Solid experience in horse care and handling
  Good skills in groundwork and lunging
  Experience with young horses
  Independent, trustworthy, and punctual
  
  Practical Details:
  Location: Seignosse (Landes, 40) – Southwest France, on the Atlantic coast
  Availability: Starting autumn 2025
  Duration: Minimum 6 months
  Schedule: 5 days/week (morning & evening care), ~10–20 hours/week
  Pay: Minimum wage according to French law
  A basic understanding of French will help you get by and is a great chance to improve your language skills. We’d love it if your native language is German or English.
  To explore the beautiful area and be independent during your stay, you’ll need a driver’s license and your own car—believe us, it’s worth it!
  For everyone’s comfort, we ask that you be fully vaccinated and a non-smoker.
  
  If you're passionate about horses and dream of spending time in nature, just a few minutes from the ocean, we’d love to hear from you!
