Description
We are a family of four, living on a horse farm close to Laugarvatn (an hour away from Reykjavík). Freyja is a high school teacher but Bjarni is a professional horse trainer and breeder. We have a 12 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. We have a small guesthouse, many horses, a few sheep and one cat.

Help
We need help with the animals and farm (cleaning the stables and feeding, working on tractor if skilled), maintenance (fences, painting, cleaning), domestic chores and cleaning a small guest house.
Experience with riding would open opportunities for more work with the horses but only for skilled riders.
Payed according to wage agreement for farming: minimum wage of 2.686 kr. pr/hour and withdrawn are 3.179 kr pr/day for food and housing.
Working hours on agreement. We can only guaranty 2-4 hours pr./day but might develop into something more if suitable.
