    Description

    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 are away for a few weeks in January 2026 and require someone to care for our farm and animals while we are away. Duties include feeding chickens and dogs, pig and overseeing our horses and donkeys. We have 2 house cats and one small house dog that needs care. It would take 3 hours a day for all the daily animal care. We would have a car available


    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
