    Description

    I live with my two dogs, two cats and two horses on farm in the South West of Portugal near the ocean. I'm originally from the UK but have been in Portugal since 2020.

    While I can’t offer much in terms of cultural exchange, as I’m not Portuguese, you’ll have the opportunity to improve your English with me. Most importantly, I can offer riding lessons, trail rides, and the chance to learn about horsemanship and horse training.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I often have people from different countries here with me and of course we interact with the locals as well, but mostly I think I can share my skills as a horse trainer. I have been training horses my whole life and have aquired a good skill set in what is usually termed horsemanship.

  • Help

    Help

    I’m looking for help with taking care of my animals-both pets and horses. I’d like to focus more on training the horses rather than just handling their daily care. Ideally, you would have experiences with horses and be comfortable handling them and riding them. I'm happy to teach you more, but a good basis makes everything easier.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    My helper can have a room to herself with bed, closet, and desk and share a bathroom. The house is very clean and we will share meals together. I will provide the food for us, but of course it would be good if you can help around the kitchen.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I live a very inclusive lifestyle, so if you have a problem with minorities or queer people or anything like that, please do not apply. I'm a very direct and straightforward person and find it easy to communicate well with most people.

    There is so much beautiful nature around my place, so feel free to come with your campers or even tents, although I can provide you with a good bedroom.
