Experience life with horses on a small farm in Ballinalee, Ireland

Description

My name is Oliver. I live in a small farm house and horse yard in the middle of Ireland. Ongoing building project on the house and yard.
We are surrounded by beautiful countryside. Also run an advertising/film production company from the property.
Lots of wood to be cut, things to build still. Would like a motivated, positive person who is at peace in nature. Creative, artists, musicians very welcome. Film making is my passion equitable with my love of horses.

Happy to pay additional to hours if this is of interest/ within the skillset of anyone for work needing doing.

What's this?

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

My business is running an advertising company and making short films so there is always a lot going on. It would be nice to have an alternative point of view and input.

I think the main cultural exchange is seeing how we live here and engaging with what is going on - that will be different for every traveler. But horse life has a universality.

There is a good canal network - we have kayaks- and beautiful lakes - if someone is into fishing.

We have a small garden and grow some basics.

Help

We have a small horse yard and property which is an ongoing project.

There are two types of help required:

1) General horse care - mucking out, feeding - General yard and land maintenance. So having real horse experience would be ideal.

2) Sharing the running of the house, cooking cleaning, shopping etc.

I am away with work a lot so would like to meet responsible and trustworthy people who would maintain the place if i am away for a couple of days.
