Description
Hello Workawayers!
My name is Angie. Originally from the Netherlands, I followed my dream and moved to France to create a peaceful Forever Home for rescued horses and other animals. Welcome to our sanctuary in the beautiful Brenne Regional Natural Park in central France.
For many years, I have dedicated my life to rescuing horses and other animals in need. More than 35 horses, as well as many cats and dogs, have found their Forever Home here, where they can live safely, peacefully, and with dignity.
Our sanctuary is not a riding school or a commercial stable. Every animal here has been rescued and will stay with us for the rest of its life. Our mission is to give them the peaceful and loving home they deserve.
If you love nature, enjoy being around horses and animals, and appreciate a quiet countryside lifestyle, you will feel at home here. Kindness, respect, friendship, and compassion are the values we share every day.
I am looking for people who are independent, responsible, and enjoy practical, physical work. Experience with horses is always welcome, but a caring attitude, common sense, and a willingness to learn are even more important.
There is always plenty to do at the sanctuary, including:
Feeding and caring for the horses and other rescued animals.
Cleaning paddocks and helping to keep the sanctuary clean and beautiful.
Building wooden horse shelters and stables (our highest priority).
Helping with permaculture projects.
Chopping and sawing wood.
Caring for fruit trees and creating natural grazing areas for the horses.
This is a vegan, non-smoking sanctuary. Because the work is physically demanding, you should be in good physical condition and enjoy being active. Working with animals requires responsibility, patience, and a calm, positive attitude. We believe that animals feel our energy, so creating a peaceful and caring environment is very important to us.
If you would like to make a real difference in the lives of rescued horses and other animals while enjoying the peace and beauty of the French countryside, we would love to welcome you.
Together, we are creating a Forever Home built on kindness, respect, friendship, and a deep love for nature. -
