Description
We are Claus and Margriet 63 and 64 yo. We live with our dogs and horses in Lot et Garonne France. We need help maintaining the 13 ha property, taking care and training of the horses and gardening. As Margriet is often travelling we need some help with cleaning the stables and around the horse areas, cleaning the house, some gardening in the permaculture and flower garden. You will stay in our independent 2 bedroom gite or in one of the big bedrooms in the main house.

Help
We need help in gardening, the kitchen garden, the flower garden, cleaning the house and taking care of the dogs. The focus is only on works around the house and permaculture. If helping is required in any space used by paying guests I will pay you for this. But it will hardly ever be necessary.
