Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live between Dublin and the historic county of Meath, with endless possibilities to experience Irish history and culture or the hustle and bustle of the city.
We would love someone with experience with animals, in particular horses but are also willing to share our experience on a day to day basis. We have a team of vets and farriers that visit on a regular basis which are also very willing to share their knowledge. This might be of particular interest to someone looking to go into working with animals as a future career.
We would ensure anyone who comes to stay would get a taste of the local nightlife and food ,be welcomed and included at all family social gatherings and introduced to like minded animal lovers.
We would love to learn from different cultures about their countries, their food, their care of animals and ways of doing things that maybe different to here.
Help
We would love help with the day to day running of things, mucking out, cleaning up after the animals, replenishing feed, providing love and care. Kindness and love being of uppermost importance, some of these animals have not had a good start in life.

Accommodation
A one bedroom apartment will be provided, with ensuite bathroom and fully functioning kitchen. The apartment has its own secure front door and is tucked behind two sets of gates with a view of the stable yard.
Food can be provided a number of ways to suit the individual, a food shop can be bought in weekly for cooking, a food allowance provided for you to do your own shopping etc, we are very flexible on this.
What else ...
We are located 20 minutes from Dublin airport and about 30 minutes from Dublin city centre. We have a regular bus route in and out of the city every 20-30 minutes. We love the area we live in as it is rural and quiet but has the city almost on our doorstep. The proximity to Dublin allows for easy transport access to the whole of Ireland via bus and train.
We are nestled between two small villages if you want to stay closer to home, there are shops, restaurants, bars and a cinema nearby as well as being close to a lot of the historic sites of Co. Meath
