    Description

    We will need some help in spring 2026 for a construction job and caring for horses including babies being born

    Hi there we are a couple and we have a 90 acre farm 45 minutes west Of Edmonton, Alberta Canada

    We have 3 draft horses that we use on sleighs and carriages. We have 20 horses,(Haflingers) 1 donkey , two pet pigs 10 chickens, 5 cats. The horses and farm animals are our pets that we enjoy on a daily basis. In the summer we have a garden


    We both travel for work and and vacations and would need someone to help with animal care when we are away. We are currently building a barn and using our own wood from our property.

    We train and ride our horses as well as drive our horses and would prefer an individual with horse experience but we are also willing to teach
