Description
I am Veronica I'm developing a new project in a farm with horses in the south east of Spain, Alicante, Comunidad Valenciana, and we need help.
We are Non gubernamental organization ( non profit) a team of great people trying to do something for our community trough therapy with horses.
We have been working in that from 2006 and right now we developing our new place and we need a lot of help. The main one: farm house help ( the house is not builded jet and we need someone to stay in one o the caravans..and..... gardening, helping with the daily routine in the farm: horses care, gardening and general maintenance, and house keeping ( cleaning the caravan and the bathroom)
We are 10 minutes driving from San Juan beach at Alicante -Comunidad Valenciana -Spain and 20 min driving from the city centre( Alicante) 20 min driving to the airport.
You can ride by bike too. I could lend you a bike.
The nearest bus station walking to the city center is 45 minTypes of help and learning opportunities

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn different cultures, and you can have a calm time with yourself and the horses and all that being with horses could bring to yourself. You'll meet the people who come to share activities with us it depends on the month.
Help
We look for a person to stay in the farm, feed the horses, making out and help with the general maintenance, your accommodation it will be a caravan and we'll provide three meals for you or the ingredients to cook them. We expect from you to stay in the farm and help:
4 hours in the morning ( feeding horses, making out, general maintenance, gardening, painting etc.)from 7am
30 min in the afternoon for horses lunch time ( with the nets already filled in the morning)around 2p.m.
30 minutes at the evening for horses dinner (with the nets already filled in the morning).around 8p.m.
Clean the caravan and the bathroom and shower once a week
We have 4 horses( 2 horses and 2 ponys) now but we can have until 15 horses. We are right now opening the stable to other clients. Horses can't be ridden but If you are a good rider 15 min walking there is other stable where I Know the owner and probably you could ride there.
We expect for a dynamic person, optimistic, no alcohol allowed while working, responsible and with respect for the others. Someone who is able to stay at the farm alone. If you are scared to sleep alone in a farm maybe its not your better place to choose.
To pick up the wheelbarrows you need strength, if you are not physically well, perhaps this is not your place. If you come from horses world you Know what I mean.
Alicante is quite hot in summer from June to September, so ready too for the hot weather.
We´ll provide three meals a day or the ingredients for you to cook them, in case you prefer to help only 3 hours/ day 5 days a week only for the accommodation. We can talk about it.
