  Description

  I'm a 38 year old text editor, who every now and then needs to get away from the computer screen and the office.
  
  I'm a responsible and tidy person, with experience in handling horses and doing all sorts of practical things related to animal care and field maintenance.
  
  I love working outdoors, but I'm also happy doing things like baking (e.g. Dutch apple cake!).

  What else ...

  I'm a keen (hill)walker, love going out for hacks with my two horses and like reading and playing board games.
  
  As it is not always easy to find a 'horse sitter' when I'm away, I'd like to be able to bring my two mares with me. They are well behaved and just need a field with some (natural) shelter (and hay if there's no grass). In exchange for this, I'm - of course - happy to work more than the standard workaway hours!
  
  I've absolutely no problems with sharing facilities like bathroom and kitchen, but I'd prefer to have my own bedroom.
