Description
Hi, we're looking for someone who is willing to share with us our lifestyle. This is an invitation towards a special someone who loves animals, nature and her beauty. We live in the womb of mother nature with her unique babies. We're talking about an exclusive studfarm of American Miniature horses and donkeys about 4 km away from the Cala de Mijas beach in the Costa del Sol.
I would'nt dare to use the word "work" in exchange for food and housing because we don't believe that taking care of our animal family can be considered as such, this is how we approach our daily responsibilities about them.
Our's is a non-profit association and we offer free therapy and visits to hospitals,old-age homes and centers for disabled children. The american miniature is a therapeutic animal and makes magic happen when humans come in contact with them, be it for a specific disability or simply to break moments from the stressful routine our modern society imposes!
We are specifically looking for a person or a couple who desires to live amidst our horses and donkeys (20 in total ) dedicating a couple of hours in the morning and another three hours in the evening 5 days/ week in exchange for a place to live in total privacy ( not in the same house ) but within our property, food and internet.
This opportunity includes the possibility to spend the rest of the day working elsewhere or studying if necessary but the priority should be our animals every morning and evening.
In the mornings, they will need to be fed and their water buckets brushed and refreshed with clean water and the evenings will be dedicated to cleaning the paddocks to ensure that they are all well and happy.
We live on the site and this implies that we will be present constantly and check on them on a daily basis.
The minimum period should be atleast a month extendable to a longer period provided everything goes well.
If you share a similar vision to ours and are looking forward to a new enriching experience, we will be more than happy to welcome you in our little paradise where silence reigns and mother nature sings.

Help
There is no need to have specific requirements with regard to previous experience with equids. What is absolutely a "Must" is love and dedication towards the animal kingdom. "Respect" is the keyword and ability that should be epressed towards them. We will spend the time to teach you how to take care of them and familiarise with them.
