Description
Hi my name is Mary, I life live in south west France in the Haute Vienne department of the Limousin Region. I work with horses and have 4 horses of my own, two which are senior citizens ages 27 and 30. There would be daily chores, including feeding the horses, clearing paddocks of poop, grooming horses, fencing maintenance, house maintenance and special projects. There is also a chicken housing project, pool cleaning project and lots of gardening to be done. Finally there is Rudi and Spike my two little dogs that just love to be cuddled and played with ☺️ I work professionally with horses so will not be present for some of the day so you will need to be able to work alone with daily chores but projects we will work together. I would be happy to teach you about the daily care of the horses and also how to use your energy to communicate with these beautiful creatures.
