Help
Hey Hey! I'm looking for help with some horses ! if you're passionate about keeping the stables clean, you think if your self as hard worker and to be trust worthy and youd love to ride through the most amazing Tuscan countryside and you don't mind the heat, this is your place!
You will be working with me ( Ale) and my friend Zoe who is a super funny 23 years old woman who adores horses and has a real passion for riding. We obviously welcome people with experience as it does take a bit of time to learn how to move around horses and take care of them but if you think of yourself as a fast learner and someone who is sharp enough then you are welcome too! The work is pretty physical so that is to keep in mind too.
Our horses are wonderful but they're not all for the faint hearted! They are kept in large paddocks and sometimes they're hard to catch! We have various kind of horses as, just like people, they're all different! Experience in riding is necessary if you want to ride our horses as they're not trail easy horses and we won't be taking risks as we don't definitely don't have to teach you how to ride :-) If you don't have experience you can enjoy the horse's presence on the ground!
Some one with carpentry skills and less horses skills is also welcome as there always little jobs that need doing around the stables

Accommodation
We have various options! You could have your own room in a shared house, you could camp in the woods or you could park your truck or van somewhere beautiful..lets chat about it!
What else ...
During the hot summer days we work early in the mornings and then in the evenings and during the afternoon we chill by the lakes and pools that surround the property. We are near Siena and Arezzo and other smaller villages that are absolute jewels to see during cooler evenings. Having your own vehicle will definitely be a plus as you'd be independent but it's not a must but you'll have a lot less independency as we're literally in the middle of nowhere! :-)
