Horse lover wanted to help out on our small farm beside the Sea in beautiful North West Ireland. We are located right beside the sea in Donegal, we have a small family farm and stables where we keep our own horses. We are looking for an animal lover with good equestrian experience and able to ride to give us a little help around the farm. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate couples or families- there is only space for 1 person to stay in our family home.
We have 4 friendly family dogs (2 red setters,collie,chihuahua), 2 cats and 4 horses. As we already have 4 dogs we cannot allow extra dogs to stay.
