Description
We live on a small hold just outside the town of Praia da Luz where we have a few horses who need light work by experienced riders - it would be great if we could have someone to help me with all the tasks that arise from having so many animals. Other jobs such as weeding, clearing the land, painting, cleaning etc are also available.
Our dogs that we have adopted so early morning (before the heat picks up) dog walking is a must.
As we have a farm, there is always general maintenance to do, such as fencing, planting, clearing land, etc.

The work is good to handle, we did 3-4 hours a day and the task varied every day. We felt very welcomed, the communication is easy and the vibes are always good and loving.
We highly recommend Ruth's place!
