Description
We live in a beautiful quinta in the algarve countryside, with about 12 acres of gardens and paddocks, and a pool. We have 3 dogs of our own, and sometimes a few friends dogs in the garden. I have 4 beautiful gentle horses, who I ride often, with my girlfriends. . I am 62 and English, and my husband is 78 and Irish. My goodness, that sounds old and I’m certainly not old!
We do run a free roaming kennels, and a small cattery on the premises, but have a permanent couple who work for us who deal with all aspects of the business. Workaways will never be asked to help in this enedvour.

We are looking for an English speaking couple, To help with cutting back our garden, and occasionally helping to look after the animals. You don’t have to be a horse rider, but you need to not be afraid of horses! There is often painting or woodwork to be done, or repairing stone work or fencing. A love of the outdoors and animals is a must ! You must be able to look after yourselves in the kitchen as we are often not around at mealtimes.
I would love you to help me with my french speaking if possible!
Please check my availability calendar. I do not have time to reply to people if I am not looking for help. Please respect this…. I try to be polite in replying to everyone, but it takes too long if I already have Workaways here.

You may ride the horses if you have previous experience, when there is a horse available. ( I have 10 ladies who ride with me. )
