Unfortunately i cannot accommodate couples or families- there is only space for 1 person to stay .

You can improve your knowledge of horses and have the opportunity to improve your riding . There is Hunting locally every weekend during the winter which i sometimes attend, the opportunity to come along and watch the Irish hunt is also possible - Some weekends i may attend local shows (showjumping/dressage) horses, you will be very welcome to travel and meet lots of new people at the shows. There are lots of lovely beaches and mountains nearby.

I would welcome someone who is able to help out comfortably around our horses and is knowledgeable about horse care.
The work would consist of some of the following, depending on time of year :
Cleaning stables
Cleaning shed/barn
Fixing fences in field
Moving horses from stables to fields
Putting on/removing rugs from horse
Holding horse for vet/farrier
Cleaning wounds, dressing wounds and bandaging etc on injured horses
Grooming horses/washing horses

Painting Cross Country jumps
Gardening work, weeding, cutting grass etc
Exercising horses (depends on level of riding ability)
There may be the opportunity to ride and exercise the horses depending on the level of your riding ability, l can access your level of riding when you arrive.
You can fly to either Dublin or Belfast airports. From Dublin Airport there are 2 bus services Bus Eireann and John McGinley Buses that travel to Donegal. From Belfast Airport there is an airporter bus service that runs to Derry bus station, from here you can get another bus to Letterkenny where l can meet you.

Alojamiento
I can offer one private bedroom with a double bed in a traditional bungalow. The bungalow is situated in a quiet peaceful area just outside a small village, which is a 5 -10 minute walk. In the village there is a supermarket, post office, credit union, chemist, gift shop, doctors surgery, cafe, take away, 2 bars and a restaurant. You will have full access to the home and kitchen area- fridge/freezer/cooker to prepare your food. Just clean as you go and keep the place tidy. You can use the washing machine for your laundry. I will provide all food/drink etc, I have good wi fi access in the house. There are dogs living in the house so it is important that you are a dog lover, i also do not permit any smoking in the house or around the farm,stables etc.
