Description
Hi people, my name is Ingrid, and together with my husband Vince, we run a non-profit (legally based in Belgium but physically in France) where we give horses a relaxed and well-deserved retirement. Unfortunately, my life crumbled when my diagnosed MS started to show and my husband, himself not in a perfect health, now not only has to take care of our rescued Berner Sennen Blue and the horses, but of me too! I don't give up easiily and try to do as much as I can still in the house (I prepare meals, try to help cleaning and other tasks, but I need help alot for standing up, handing me things, etc...) It' s getting a little too much for him, so we can use some help... We are living in France, trying to still enjoy our life and do our best for our rescues. A little help from time to time would be very welcome. We offer stay and meals, and the pleasure of staying in the beautiful Lot-et-Garonne

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can discover the region, make walks, go culture sniffing...If I can teach you something new about growing food, animals, putting a delicous home-cooked meal on the table, I will gladly do so! We will be glad to learn how other people work, experience this...it's a new experience

Help with caring for the horses, the garden (vegetables) by my side (Ingrid), a little company and talks, a walk with Blue (if she's not terrified of you...lol) If I can teach you something new about growing food, animals, putting a delicous home-cooked meal on the table, I will gladly do so!

Accommodation
We are still in the process of making us a home (just bought the place) and will be offering or a "gite" (house) or a camper with all accomodation required). Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) will be provided, and if the weather allows it..an evening drink and snack on the terrace of course!
What else ...
Your time off is completey yours! You can spend it on the property or go sightseeing. The only thing we are very keen on, is our siësta..at whatever hour, but our bodies need their daily naps :-)
