Description
We are Thorsten and Sabrine. Fifteen years ago we moved from Switzerland to France and now live in a very quiet and secluded little paradise together with our animals.
Thorsten works in the aviation business and I take care of our small private farm.
We have three retired horses enjoying their pension life here in the south-west of France, two of our own Knabstrupper mares, as well as two lovely dogs, two adorable cats and a small group of chickens.
Life here is peaceful and close to nature, and we enjoy sharing this place with open-minded people who would like to experience life in the countryside.
We are looking for independent and easy-going guests who feel comfortable spending time on their own as well.
In your free time you can enjoy nature, go for walks, do sports, read, or simply relax in the guesthouse. Our place is perfect for people who like calm surroundings and do not need constant entertainment.
You don’t need to be a horse expert.
We are happy about people who enjoy practical everyday tasks, helping a bit around the place, spending time outdoors, or simply being part of daily life here.
More important to us than special skills are reliability, common sense and a positive attitude.
We offer a separate guesthouse with your own kitchen and bathroom, so it works best for us when guests are quite independent and enjoy organizing their own time and meals while sharing some moments together during the day.
The most important thing for us is a respectful, relaxed atmosphere and doing things with care, kindness and mindfulness.

Animal Care
Farmstay help

General Maintenance

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can transmit everything I know about horses with an ethological approach in respect of the animal. I do have a diploma of the Swiss Stud (Haras National) and can learn you everything which has to do with horsekeeping including medical issues and nutrition of horses. But I will not teach riding lessons.
Nutrition, no matter horses or humains is one of my favorite subjects and I can give aou a lot of information for health and nutrition issues in humain and horses.
Please be aware that we are not french, that's to say even if I can speak french I cannot teach you in french. To really learn french you should look out for another host... But we can teach German :-)
Help
The areas we need help with are for example:
- help with horses: feeding, cleaning the stables and the tackroom, brushing the horses
- another daily task would be taking care of our chickens, cleaning of chicken house
- gardening tasks (we have a big vegetable garden)
- some wood protection work (light painting the terrasse, the window shelters...)
- general cleaning e.g. some house cleaning tasks

Accommodation
You would stay on your own in our small guesthouse few meters away from the main house. It has a small living room with a kitchenette (incl. refrigerator and cooker), a bedroom and you have your own bathroom with toilet and douche. I can accomodate two Workawayers at the same time.
Special diaries are no problem: so if you are vegan or vegeterian or ... - just tell me.
What else ...
Our place is quite remote and there is no public transport. It is very quiet and calm. You must love nature and animals, and look for peace and tranquility, in harmony with nature and animals.
I really like to mention that we are looking for a gentle & careful person, rather calm. Not a kind of "pampam" person. Thank you.

We were also very pleased having you as our workawayer.
Ika stayed a bit more than two weeks and fitted into life here very quickly, she is quite independent and work on her own. She is hard working with always a smile and ready to have a go at anything we suggested. This was a pleasure!

My time with Sabrine and Thorsten on their farm was wonderful. I was warmly welcomed and made feel at home from the moment I arrived. Sabrine and Thorsten are open, beautiful people and ideal hosts. I got my own gite, close to the main house, with lots of privacy and very comfortable. Sabrine made sure I was very well fed, and I really appreciated… read more

Ruben helped out with a variety of jobs during his stay and excelled at all of them.

The two weeks I spent with Sabrine (and Thorsten for a few days) just flew by. It started as a wonderful summer holiday with great hot days and a lot of sunshine before it turned into a more rainy grey time. But either way I enjoyed my time on the farm. The guesthouse is a lovely little house with everything you need, it definitely gives some… read more

WOW. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to spend time with Sabrine & Thorsten and all of their lovely animals. I felt this way every day of the 3-weeks I spent with them.
I was warmly welcomed, and immediately made to feel at home, given my own guest cabin to stay in, which was treated extremely respectfully as my own private space.… read more

I spent six weeks at this farm and I can only agree with the defintion of a 'little paradise'. Surrounded by a beautiful countryside with the company of a lovely tribe of friendly animals the place is an oasis of tranquillity and peace. I helped out with the horse keeping and general farm work and the work was always pleasant and stress-free.… read more
