Description
We have requirements for Horse riders with experience or also we are looking for people who might like to do a bit of landscaping. I have German Shepherd Rescue which I am trying to rehome, I would like someone to come in May or June and work solely with him and a professional Dog trainer that will teach you what you will need to do, this will be an amazing experience for someone who has knowledge of restricted and big breeds and as a keen love of dogs. Kindness, love and patiience will be required. The person that works with the dog, will have no other responsibilities other than the dog.
For the landscaping and maintenance, some relevant experience maybe be required depending on what is on at the time. A bit of muscle helps too! We live in the beautiful sunny south east in Rosslare Strand, Co. Wexford Ireland, (1 mile from the beach). You would live in a self catering apartment with other Workawayers from various countries. It is a shared bedroom, mod cons; Wifi, big smart tv, Netflix and loads of other channels, dishwasher and washing machine , full kitchen etc. The apartment sleeps 4.
The apartment is on Our 3 acre property where Tom , myself and the horses reside. You will be asked to do various tasks for 25 hours a week,, we are very flexible, just let us know what days you prefer off. Horse people maybe asked to do Gardening/cleaning/maintenance type work. Depends on how much horse work is on that week. Expect up to approx. 8 hours/ week in general maintenance type work. However, there are often many weeks that horses will be full on.
We live by the train, buses and we provide you with bikes to cycle around the village and to the beach. We have a cold pool and outdoor sauna that you will have full excess to use them. We provide your food. You will have plenty of free time to explore this beautiful Island. Contact us if you think you may be interested. We have lots of cats and dogs, so a general love of animals is nice to have as well :-)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will have access to the beach, train to dublin and bikes to cycle around to see the sites. Rosslare Strand is the 'sunny southeast' , a very popular destination for tourists. Particularly in the summer time and is also lovely in the autumn. It is very beautiful. We live in Rural Ireland in an old farmhouse on three acres. If you are a city slicker, it is a great contrast, if you are a country bumpkin, then you will feel right at home whilst learning English.
Help
We are looking for people who can do general maintenance : gardening, weeding, painting. Clean up.

Annie is a lovely girl and we were very excited to have an Italian girl join us. We like to mix the nationalities if possible as it forces English speaking. Annie was living with a German girl and French girl in the apartment attached to our main house, Now, sometimes, we might have two Germans and 1 French speaking girl, but we do try. In Annie’s… read more

It was my first experience as workawayer and I must say that I was disappointed, I landed from Italy in order to improve my English, but I realized that it wasn’t the right place... I should have stayed a month with this family but I decided to stay only a week.. I think that it wasn’t possible to have a cultural exchange, since I almost never saw… read more

I stayed at this place around 3,5 weeks and I met really nice girls during my stay. Also the horses were sweet for their young age (most of them are around 4 years old).
It took me some time to get used to the sleeping arrangements as we were 4 people in a really small bedroom and one older bathroom, which needed a thorough clean-up. This might… read more

I stayed on month in this beautifull place. The work with horses was so pleasant. They are all so nice, I will miss them. The rides at the curracloe beach, early in the morning, were amazing : wonderfull landscape, nice horses, and sometimes, seals showing their head above the sea ! I will never forget… read more

Cassie is a natural athlete, smart and funny. She was in Brazil before coming to Ireland and I think the quiet of rural Ireland is just what she needed. She is very balanced and poised on the horses. We took the girls to Kilmore Quay for a boat ride to spend time on the deserted Saltee Islands . The spent 4 hours on the Island, just looking at… read more

This is a really lovely place to come if you love horses. Tom and Theresa are very nice sweet people who really want workaways to enjoy their time here. The horses are amazing and you get to ride at the beach which is a dream. I would reccommend coming here to any horse lovers out there. It's a bit of work but nothing too bad, mostly barn chores… read more
