Description
Home educating family who have moved to the wild northwest countryside of ireland for new adventures!
We have bought an old stone farmhouse with a barn and 2 stone outhouses and 3 acres of land. It is already magical here with all of the beautiful trees and a stream and view of the mountains and we hope to make it even more magical as we build and improve the outside spaces and grow veg and add more and more animals! We have 2 kids 12 and 14 w 2 dogs and 1 cat and 2 horses.
We love hiking surfing swimming kayaking horse riding and rock climbing and also are big into bushcraft and learning through nature.
We need help in the garden and general tasks, gardening and help training the younger horse.

Help
We would love someone to help do projects outside and try to create fun spaces to play and hang out on our land.. We would be interested in hosting someone with experience with horses to help us with learning about our new pets and maybe tips on training the younger 4yr old horse.
We need someone who loves kids and animals. Any basic gardening or permaculture skills be great.
