    We are looking for help with our rescued animals and garden work at our finca. We have lived on a 50-hectare finca for 29 years and care for a number of rescued animals: 3 horses, 2 donkeys, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, etc.
    We live in a very secluded, quiet location. We look forward to welcoming kind, empathetic people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. Ideally, a couple or a pair of two people.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live very quietly and secluded here. Something for people who want to relax and enjoy and learn how to deal with horses, dogs and other animals. I can speak Spanish quite well and could pass on basic knowledge of macramé.

    Wir leben hier sehr ruhig und abgelegen. Etwas für Menschen, die zur Ruhe kommen wollen und den Umgang mit Pferden, Hunden und anderen Tieren geniessen und lernen möchten.
    Ich kann recht gut Spanisch und könnte Grundkenntnisse in Makramee weitergeben.

    We need help in the stable with the horses—specifically mucking out and filling/hanging hay nets. This involves three rounds a day: 7:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and around 6:00 PM. Depending on the situation, there may be other horse-related tasks, such as washing, applying creams, or administering injections during the summer eczema season. Our horses are all older now, so we only take them for walks—something you are welcome to join in on if you like.
    Dexter, our wheelchair-using dog, needs help getting into his cart, though he moves very fast once he’s in it. There may also be some gardening work. The olive harvest takes place around the beginning of November; it’s always a great experience. We only have a few trees—just enough for our own oil—so it involves physical labor, and you should be physically fit. We are primarily looking for people who can stay for a longer period (3–4 months), or even longer—or perhaps permanently, if we’re a good match.
    Non-smokers are preferred since I have asthma, though you could simply smoke well away from me. We would ideally like a pair of people, preferably with a vehicle, as we live in a rather remote location.

    Wir benötigen Hilfe im Stall bei den Pferden. Das heisst misten und Heunetze füllen und aufhängen. 3xpro Tag 7.30/12.30/ca.18h. Je nachdem auch andere Arbeiten rund ums Pferd, wie waschen, eincremen und einspritzen der Pferde, während der Sommerekzem Saison. Unsere Pferde sind alle schon älter und wir machen nur noch Spaziergänge mit ihnen, wo ihr gerne auch mitlaufen könnt, wenn das jemand gerne möchte.
    Dexter unser Rollstuhlhund, braucht Hilfe um in sein Gefährt zu kommen , dann ist er aber sehr schnell unterwegs. Je nachdem Mitarbeit im Garten. Ca. Anfangs November ist Oliven Ernte, das ist immer ein Erlebnis. Es sind nur wenige Bäume für unser eigenes Oel. Es ist also körperliche Arbeit und man sollte körperlich fit sein. Wir suchen vor allem Menschen, die auch länger bleiben (3, 4 Monate) oder auch gerne noch länger oder dauerhaft, wenn wir gut zusammen passen.
    Bevorzugt Nichtraucher, da ich Asthmatiker bin, oder ihr raucht einfach weit weg von mir. Am liebsten 2 Personen zusammen, und gerne auch mit Fahrzeug, da wir eben ziemlich abseits leben.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are very remote and it would be good to be mobile if you want to go to the sea or something like that.

    Wir sind sehr abgelegen und es wäre gut mobil zu sein, wenn ihr zwischendurch zBsp mal ans Meer oder so möchtet.
