    Description

    Welcome !! My name is Timothy I have a hobby which is a small ranch in West Cork ( wild altlantic way) 1 mile from town of schull. I live in the neighbourhood farmhouse adjacent the cottage accommodation. I life alone except when family visit .
    It's truly a idilic area in ireland with a landscape that has a rugged beauty that is unique.
    I carry some horses on it but my particular interest is Kerry bog ponies .
    I protect this breed and have a particular interest in preserving them .
    All my ponies are friendly and good natured and some require extra handling to prepare for shows or inspection .
    So I require a person to do some light training with the ponies eg
    Grooming and leading ponies .
    Getting them to walk and trot .
    Some basic experience is necessary.
    Some fence painting also would be great .
