    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.

    Spring is here, and there's lots to do!

    As the weather warms up, we're getting busy with garden work, planting in the vegetable patch, and preparing the pool for the summer. Any experience or genuine interest in gardening, permaculture, or other projects is very welcome!

    If you’ve learned something through hands-on experience, that’s a big plus. We really appreciate people who feel confident doing practical work.

    If you’re someone who wants to experiment with random tricks you saw on TikTok — this is not the place to try them. We value care, common sense, and people who take pride in doing things well.

    That said, whatever your skills or background, we’re sure there’s something useful we can do together. We’re happy to adapt and find tasks that suit you!
