  • Description

    Description

    We are a group of 4 people and 1 dog living together in an old farm house in a small village.
    It is also the headquarters of the animal welfare association.
    Our 10 horses live in two pastures 10 km away. The other animals (cows, pigs, sheeps) do not live on our farm either but live with farmers in nearby villages. So you need a driver's license.
    We have a small garden and grow our own vegetables and next year we will expand the garden to sell organic vegetables.

    We do not use the animals. In case of horses this means no riding and no training.
    We eat vegan or vegetarian food only! No meat in our home please.

    Help

    Right now we need help with taking care of the horses. Check fences, food, water, remove horse droppings, building a shelter. You can also help with the garden project, walk with the dogs....
    You don't need special experience with horses but you should not be afraid of animals and you need a driver's license.
    If you want you can stay for a few month but at least for two weeks would be good.
