    Description

    Hello to you,
    My goal is to awaken and develop my newly bought little now renovated farm on at least 5 ha privately owned land and vineyard in the Languedoc South of France. I (45 year old, French/English/Dutch mother of 10 year old son) also own a lovely villa with pool, at 15 minutes away from the farm. I currently own 7 horses for private use. My love for horses has made me breed with my late beautiful black Spanish Menorcan stallion in the past. I now enjoy his offspring stallion, 2 mares and 2 foals of the same breed. Together with a PRE, an Arab/Quarter horse mix, a Shetland from a friend and 6 mini Shetlands all staying at the farm and in the vineyards! At the moment I'm into carriage training with them. I have good dressage and natural horsemanship skills as actively into horses since the age of 16. The farm is really remote, ideal for horse riding. I'm happy to share, enjoying this private farmstead and its animals, developing this little gem, with ecologically conscious ideas where artistic creativity is more than welcome. Looking to exchange your experience, knowledge and skills at our this little paradise into a farm with horses, mini ponies and other animals (cat, 2 dogs, peacocks, chicken and the animal family is still growing), lovely vegetable garden, natural water, pool and solar energy. Living this journey with the help of nicely cooked meals, playing music, dance and other art.
