What else ...
Note: se had to write that will be a 5 hours job for 5 days a week but actually the work takes more than that, as taking care of 20 horses need more time and a lot of passion every day. We have a day to stop when we need it or some evenings to go out and relax but is not a rule. Workawayers can ask for a day off when they need it, just telling us in time to organize all at the stable.
Before you ask us to come please read that!
