SHARING AN OPPORTUNITY
I am looking for someone who’d like a change of pace this winter. I run a small pony sanctuary — quiet, steady, a place with its own rhythm — and I'm opening a work-away spot for the winter months.
There’s a fully equipped caravan, food included, and the work is genuinely light: roughly 10–15 hours a week with weekends off. It’s the usual winter yard jobs, plus basic household chores and a bit of cooking to keep things ticking along. I'm looking for a female applicant over 21, simply because im an older single woman living alone and fee safest that way.
This could suit someone wanting to help abused ponies and learn about energetic healing in a grounded, meaningful setting. I'd be happy to provide a reference afterwards as well.
I am in County Waterford, Ireland, within walking distance of the seaside town of Tramore.
Currently, there are 8 ponies living on my 4 acres. I also have 2 friendly dogs and a sheep. All the ponies live out, all year round. Most of the ponies are very small and are not
ridden.
This is not a business. No business related work is required
