  Help

  Babysitting the children, riding horses, mowing grass, outdoor farm chores, cooking dinners.
  The horses are also purely for leisure: show jumping, polo, trail riding, hunt club etc so I think it creates a great opportunity for someone to experience these fun horse related activities! There also isn’t much for horse chores - they have round bales with nets and auto waterers so no daily feeding or anything like that.
