  Description

  I’m a female who lives on a 25 acre property on the Hawkesbury River which is a rural area / bushland about 1 - 1/2 hours from the Sydney CBD. The property has 3 horses , a dog and chickens plus an extensive garden. The nearest town is about 1/2 hour away. I’m retired so spend time training and riding horses, gardening, doing some volunteer work and enjoying the countryside. Autumn - Spring I ride in horse Endurance competitions and the summer is on the river. The local people are very community minded and we enjoy eating out or going to each other’s homes. I love where I live as the serenity of the river and its native birds and animals is my sanctuary. My family is spread out and we don’t see each other very much so my friends are very much part of my life

  Help

  I’d like to have someone to help around the house and in particular someone who has experience with horses and riding. A person who appreciates the outdoors and enjoys bushwalking . The person would like gardening and happy to be in a property that is very private. It’s physical help so if you have not experience with outside tasks it might be difficult for you
