Description
Come and help with horses, live a farm lifestyle on 30acres. We have recently purchased this property and there is such a variety of tasks to help with from riding to lunging to helping with horses using natural horsemanship. Help establish vegetable gardens, flower gardens, fencing, weed control. If you love helping outdoors this is a good opportunity. We are 30 mins from Waipu, and Mangawhai. Auckland is approx 2 hours away. We are a mature couple who are interested in meeting people from all walks of life. If you are looking for a stopover on the way up to the Far North please reach out. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
