Details
Description
We are a small farm with American cocker spaniels, cats and Icelandic horses in the beautiful part of Sweden called Sörmland, next to the city Eskilstuna. If you love animals, this is the right place for you! We live together with the animals in the peaceful surroundings on the country side.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here you will live next to the animals and learn a lot about dogs since we have a kennel with happy Cockers! Ii is also perfect if you want to learn Swedish, since you will have company all the time.
Help
We need help with the HORSES; leading them between the pasture and stable, taking out the dung etc. Unfortunately the horses are seniors and therefore we cannot offer any riding. We need help with the DOGS; taking care of them, bathing them and taking them out for walks.
We also need help with the GARDEN - grass clipping / snow clearing. In the summer we are harvesting the hay and help with all kind of things you do on a farm. Likewise we need help in the HOUSE and with general maintainance and cleaning.
Unfortunately we have a very traditional Swedish diet, so i cannot have anyone who is vegetarianLanguages spoken

What else ...
On your time off you can enjoy the beautiful nature around here or visit the city Eskilstuna, only about 15 minutes away. In Eskilstuna there is a lot of shopping, a famous Zoo, museums etc. From Eskilstuna it is only about 1h to the capital Stockholm with the train.
