    Description

    There are five of us living on the property, and we share the upkeep, meals, evenings out, etc.

    I have a small herd of horses and ponies that live outdoors and are raised using ethological methods. I also have two guest rooms.

    I eat organic or local food. I don't eat meat, but if you can't do without it, I can cook it for you. I built my house with wood from my farm, and I need help taking care of the horses, maintaining the horse fences, and making use of the wood. I'm also working on setting up a permaculture garden. I reuse as much as possible.
    We are currently building a treehouse and a shelter for the horses.

    I live in the south of France, in the Ariège Pyrenees, at an altitude of 500 meters, 1 hour 30 minutes from Andorra and 1 hour from Toulouse.

    If you enjoy hiking in the mountains, I can point you to some magnificent places, with mountain lakes, Cathar castles, and unique hiking trails.

    You can also go to festivals, swim in lakes...

    I can transmit everything I know about horses with an ethological approach in respect of the animal
    I suggest some really typical local outings to be closer to our culture
    But the most important thing is to live all this with a benevolent and enlightened look .............
