Help
As I have two children,I need someone who can take charge of the horses ie,feeding,cleaning and that is a good rider to exercise them (riding in the arena, hack out or longing). You must weight less than 60 kg. I need also help in the house and with the children. If you like walking, you can take the dogs for walks. Please be serious and reliable.You will be able to gain a lot of experience and we will have a lot of autonomy.
Please no vegan.

Accommodation
We live in the countryside in a quiet place. We are 15mn from Casares which is a charming tipical andalusian village. You can go walking and climb to the Cristelina wich is a reserve for the vultures. There are many things and villages to see around. And you have the beach 20 mn from here. You will be sleeping in a caravan but you have access to all facilities in our house. If you fancy being part of our family for a while (at least 1 month) we would love to hear from you!
What else ...
On your time off you can go walking as there are many routes around Casares, go and visit Marbella and the port, Puerto Banus, visit Estepona or Malaga or go to the beach. We usualy thake our helpers with us when we go somewhere in the week end (second hand market, beach...).

This first experience was very nice, we worked with autonomy and with reciprocal trust.
It was also a good compromise between sharing and intimacy.
We ate very good meals, no problem for this! Merci Chef!
Thank you both, and your little children! Hope that everything will be fine for you!
It was an amazing experience and I've learn lots of things about horses.
I can only wish you to go there, it's an amazing place to spend some time :)
So many thanks to you Roxane for eveything :)
