Description
We live on 50 acres just outside of Leeton (20 minutes from Narrandera/Leeton Airport),
Sarah is an Equestrian Coach with a few horses on the property.
Son (Sebastian) is 14yrs old at school.
WE have 36 sheep, 4 dogs, many cats, a donkey and horses.
We are still developing the property and upkeep I h the paddocks.. Sarah is running Ladies horse riding camps, and is currently getting the equestrian part of the farm working to accommodate the training days and education of horses.
We are still trying to get a vegetable patch up and running and a moveable chicken coop. Sebastian would live to have someone around to do things with, and I need some help around the farm with slashing and improving the property.Types of help and learning opportunities

Help
I currently have a lot of teaching riding and a girl who works for me. I would live help on her day off with feeding the horses. I need help cleaning the house and making dinner a few times a week would really help us out!!
I quite often have a lot of bookwork, so help entertaining Sebastian would be wonderful. He is quite happy entertaining himself as well, but loves playing with older people!!
We have a tractor, and can show you how to use it to help cart rubbish away.Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Single room (double bed) in 3 bedroom house, shared bathroom and family meals.
Meals are normally healthy (not much sugar in the house). I am happy to provide special food (vegetarian), and we are more than happy to eat it, if you are happy to cook it!!
It is an older style house with only one inside bathroom unfortunately, however we do also have an outside bathroom (and another one in the stable block!!)What else ...
We are 20 mins from the airport, so we can drop you off if you want to go to Sydney for a couple days off.
We try to have meals at the table every night to catch up with how everyone's day went. There are many backpackers in the area, so we can introduce you to them if you are interested. We have friends around Australia that you may like to visit after us.A little more information
