  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You can learn to take care of horses, train, nutricion, first aids. I am a profesional natural trainer, horse nutricionist and Barefoot trimming. All the equipment necesary to learn all about horses live and care.
  
  As well, we are close to a historical environment: Ávila. It is the city where Santa Teresa was born and maintains many places from medieval times, with a spectacular Roman wall 2515 meters long and 12 meters high. Half an hour by car, we are in Segovia with its Roman aqueduct. After work, we like to go for a walk in the old part of the city or visit nearby historic towns.
  As I work from home in my own business, and I don't have to follow a schedule, I am available to do whatever we like.
