Descripción
I have a 10,000square meter farm in Tenerife with 12 horses, dog's, cats, birds, chickens alot of which are rescue animals.so only for real animal lovers. I live 10 mins drive from the famous windsurfing paradise El Medano in a rural area but close to a bus stop and local bars and restaurants. I'm looking for keen eager people who can help with the horses and gardens. You must have experience with horses and be confident around them. English speaking people only please. Also help around the house. . When it's couple's I'm happy for the other person to do non horse tasks. I also only confirm workaways only once I have there flight details due to time wasters. I do prefer workaways to stay a minimum of 1 month or ideally longer. You must have experience with horses be kind and compassionate. A lot of the horses are retired competition horses who enjoy their retirement. The help is mornings for 5 hrs, 5 days a week , the rest of the time is your own. Horse riding is possible but is not included in your 5 hours so you may have to do an extra one hour a day if you want to ride every day. You must be experienced and competent around horse's. I am looking for longer term stays of a minimum a month.
