This is a multi-ethnic village, there is a mosque and a house of prayer (from the Mennonites). Some villagers live in almost total food self-sufficiency.
Help
I will be absent from my home because I guide mountain trail rides. I need you to take care of my animals and garden during my absence.
Feed the 5 cats, make sure they have water.
Feed the dog once per day and go for shirt walks with him. Its going to be his first time not following me on the trails: his arthritis wont allow it anymore... so he will need to go on walks to avoid depression!
There will be the donkey (the sweetest lil' creature), my old mare (22yo), 6 young horses.and a gelding. They will need to be fed with hay 3times per day and make sure they have water all the time.
Water the garden (organic, my humble attemp to permaculture), eat what is ripe, maybe plant something if you feel like it!
If you are interested and have enough knowledge, you can do some ground work and getting used to saddle with two 3 year old fillies (no actual riding yet, they are still to young) and three 2 year old colts - ground work (halter, feet picking,..).
The 2 first days I will still be at home so I can show you around. Please be sure that you can stay for the whole period as I will not be there to find you a replacement if you suddenly decide to leave before the agreed end of your stay date.
3rd of September until 17th of September.
My brother and his family and the neighbours on the other side of the street can help you in case you encounter some problems with the animals while I am not there.
I live in RotFront village 65km East of Bishkek.
If you are interested we can have a chat on Whatsapp to answer each others questions and make sure everything is understood and agreed so that this experience can be nice for everyone !
