Description
Currently looking for : (December, the person I had coming has cancelled)
November: I am home, so need someone to help with turnout and stalls and working with horses.
December: Same as November.
I much prefer people who want to stay for a month.
----
Full disclosure, I suck at responding to initial emails; there are just too many. Some to get lost in spam, but some people just email without experience or dates I already have help and I admit I often don't have time to respond. Apologies in advance.
We live off the beaten path in Guanacaste, CR. Where we live is still dirt roads. We live between two of the best surfing beaches in the country, Playa Avellanas and Playa Negra, both less than 2km away. So if you surf or want to learn its the perfect place.
An experienced horse person. I only have 10 horses, some in training. Two foals to play with. 'd like someone who is comfortable handling horses, doing groundwork, exposing them to new things, and riding.
There is riding available for someone with the experience. The beach is just down the road and lots of trails for riding as well as a riding ring.
Would love someone who has experience with young and green horses and establishing boundaries.
We live in the country, it is not a city life with lots to do, basically beaches and small town.
A couple would be fine, if the partner has some experience building simple things, or doesn't mind doing chores in the barn like mucking out and filling waters and raking etc.
Not for people who need constant social life all the time, its a quiet-ish place.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We all speak English and Spanish in the home, I am Canadian by birth but was raised here in CR,. We live in a rural setting, but on the beach, its 200 metres away. We don't live in a party town, it's pretty quiet.
Help
Help can be in one of two areas: horses: grooming, tacking up, turning out, bathing, setting jumps, harrowing ring, occasionally flatting if you are an experienced enough rider.
Partner can help with mucking out or if have experiecne with wood working.
Area is Playa Avellanas and Playa Negra, so you can google the area to see if its a fit for you.
You have your own apartment and get a food allowance at the end of every week.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
French: Beginner
Accommodation
You have your own small house on the farm. It has two beds, a bathroom, and kitchen. You have wifi, water, etc.
What else ...
Surfing is really big here, so if you surf or want to take it up, its a great place.
The beach is 300 metres away, so you can spend plenty of time there.
You can take the bus to just about anywhere in the country if you want to take days off and go exploring.
Because you live beside me with my two small daughters, I prefer workaways who are not going to be going out late and coming back in the middle of the night, or playing loud music late etc.
There is a bicycle that you can use.
