  • Help

    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.

    We organize activities in , the association and you could help or take part, it depends on the activity , your profile a the program for the time you spend with us.

    Can possibly accept pets

    I can accept pets but previously we´ll talk in a interview because in the farm there are other animals and I have to be sure we can manage the situation and the harmony in the farm. I have a dog, a female and she is very dominant, your pet couldn't be around the horses during people using the arena or riders come.
