Description
If you like the country, love silly dogs, and have good experience taking care of horses such as mucking out stables feeding and grooming
you could be a good fit and should love it here.
I’d like an animal-lover who can stay and help with two puppies and two dogs and 6 horses while I am at work.
A typical day is have breakfast while I feed animals. If Im working you watch dogs and puppies, chill out, do some House chores and hang out in the countryside while I go to work. You’ll find something to help out with.
I love horses and am a vegetarian, and provide vegetarian food only. No dead animals are to be eaten in my home.

I don't have riding school type horses for beginners, but if you are a good rider you can help work horses. I don’t consider riding my horses part of your work, but they are there if you are good riders. I would love someone who could teach me dressage and teach my horses lateral work.
My days off are Tuesdays and weekends those are my 3 free days to play with my horses, explore, garden, play guitar, rest. It takes a week or so to get used to the horses and dogs so someone who wants to stay a month or more is best. Watching dogs is a big part of living in my home so if dogs annoy you please don’t apply! A dog trainer would be useful!
I work as a chiropractor Monday Wednesday Friday 11-7 and
Thursday 2-8, and like workawayers to stay in with my dogs those days while I’m working. You will have free chiropractic care if you like. I'm flexible, not a slave driver, and do my best to help volunteers have fun here. I have even made a few life long friends from workaway.
I am an American living the beautiful country life in Donegal. I settled here in 1996 so I am a bit Irish too!
To get to me fly into Dublin or Belfast or Eglinton they all have buses to 2 miles from my home where I can collect you. Please don’t fly into Donegal Airport it’s in the middle of nowhere with no buses.
I live 2 miles from the town of Newtowncunningham, County Donegal. You can get buses from there to nearly anywhere.
County Donegal is lovely and scenic with beautiful beaches. Donegal is a beautiful county to explore, Glenveigh Castle and The Giant's Causeway, Bushmills, and loads of beaches are within an hour-2 bus ride from my home in Newtowncunningham. Derry is only a short drive and is a nice city to visit too. Belfast is a train ride from Derry, very scenic.
If you would like to help me drop me a line.

Thanks Victoria

Vegetarian only food provided. No meat in my home please. tried letting meat eaters come but my kitchen stunk of dead animals so now I try to host mostly vegans or vegetarians. Relaxed home with plenty of doggie fun! Cold in the winter so dress warmly. This is Ireland raingear essential, wellingtons too.

Yin was very kind and polite and a pleasure to host. She is great with computers, housework, animal care and made a fabulous Malaysian dinner 2 times while here. I found her very helpful with doing lots of different odd jobs. She also just chips in and does helpful things without even being asked to. I highly recommend you host her she will be… read more

Victoria was a great host! She took the time to show me some beautiful sites in Donegal and fixed some delicious meals! I enjoyed helping her with her beautiful horses and hanging out with her and the pups in the evening. She made me feel very welcome. :)

I spent two weeks in beautiful Ireland. It was my first workaway experience and it was awesome. All my expectations of Ireland, Victoria and the animals were exceeded. I enjoyed the time with her even if it was only one week. Victoria is a really amusing, welcoming and honest person. I loved our discussions about horses and men. She had many nice… read more

Sonja was so good for my horses and dogs! I could tell by their reaction when I came home from 1 week holiday that she had taken great care of them whilst I was away. They were all calm and relaxed. Sonja spent 2 weeks at my home and in that time learned to cook for herself, and had fun with my pets. I am most grateful she looked after my home… read more

Hosting Luisa and Nadia was a great experience. They began by gifting me a book about where they live, and I read it from cover to cover with delight! I learned a lot about Germany from them, and plan to visit the horses there. The ladies were easy to feed, and helped in the house without being asked. They turned the soil and broke the ground… read more

I learned with her and I wish her all the best… read more

Marie was super and easy to host. She helped with so much I feel like I have a new home. My kitchen she painted, she put down new flooring, added new shelves, added new acrylic around the sink and counters, the blind was mended, she literally doubled my space. I am amazed by the transformation. Marie also put shelves in my laundry room, my… read more

You can´t have a better host than Victoria. :)
She is great and makes you feel at home from the first moment.
She lives on the countryside, but she undertakes a lot with you and show you the surroundings. We had many nice beach walks with her three mad dogs. Her friends are really nice and welcome one with open arms.
I have felt more than… read more
