Help
Depending on the season, there are many different help needed.
Always some fences have to be controlled/repaired, in winter the goats and horses much be fed and the horse-shit must be taken away.
in the garden are all kinds of works... we have an ol small house, where we have to put tink on the walls.
we have wood for burning in the winter time, still lying on the meadow. it must be carried/ pulled by the horses down to the barn. and then it must be cut in pieces.
besides that we have to make isolation of one wall between goat-stable and house. and finish roof of the barn.
sometimes we need help with teaching young horses, or leading horses, when children want to ride on their backs.
