Description
A family of four, Vivian (39y), Kim (39y) and our two girls 8y and 5year. We got 1 husky, a Breton and two Shetlandpony, a big garden and we live on the countryside in Trøndelag. We love THIS place,.
We are looking for someone who would like to be a part of our family. You need to LOVE dogs and horses. We prefer someone experienced with horses and / or hunting dog. The ponnies will be needing training in horsemanship, driving and ridning (my girls will do the last).
You also need to be happy to be around kids and have an eye for organizing.
We are not looking for babysitters, but since this is a family project, that is really important to us. We do prefer that you stay at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Task would be
- helping with organize our home
- training and exercise dogs and the Shetlandsponni
- training the ponies and make them pull a cart and be good children riding ponies.
- making food
- garden works
- helping out with the dogs (feed, cuddle, brush tenth and exercise them)
- harvest and fermentation
- taking part in family activities
Levanger kommune has a lot to offer, greater nature, a lot of hiking opportunities, swimming pool, shopping mall, and old historical city.
There are several places to visit, like unique sleeping places (tree too Ekne and a place you can stay the night in a apartment above the sheep’s in a barn), we have a lot of really nice trails in our area - it all depends on what you would like to experience.
