Description
Next availability is June 15th 2022
Hi we have a large garden 4 horses 4 dogs 17 hens and 4 goats so any help appreciated. Its quite here so its important that you like the countryside and being in nature. You will have a very nice separate accommodation with lots of luxuries and a good wifi. 😁. Work during the winter months is based around taking care off and riding 4 horses. It's important that you are a confident rider with some knowledge of flatwork. If you are interested please apply showing videos in walk trot and canter. Only applicants with video can be considered. Our next availability is July 2022 and as it takes a while to get to know the horses and dogs we prefer long stays. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Warm regards
