Description
Seeking 1 or 2 helpers with my 6 horses and 3 dogs. Preference given to vegetarians or vegans. November to April is when I need help the most. This is when horses are stabled so lots of mucking out and grooming every day.
Please let me know your experience with dog and horse maintenance(care) when you apply.
If you like the quiet country, love silly little very loud dogs, and grooming and caring for horses reach out to me. We usually have 1-2 beach runs per week to exercise dogs.
I don't have riding school type horses for beginners, but if you are a good experienced rider you can ride a bit. If you’re not and good to them I’ll lunge you. If you want to pay for lessons there’s a place 20 minutes from me that teaches showjumping I can drive you to on Tuesday mornings.
I would love someone who could teach me dressage from the ground and teach my horses lateral work. If you know dressage you can ride my 12 year old Kitkat. I’d love to learn dressage and groundwork, help me if you know some please. Nike can be ridden lightly but only for experienced riders. She was an endurance mare is 23 and need to watch her for laminitis. The horses are turned out the summer so not too much work with them till they come in for the winter. .
My days off are Tuesdays and weekends those are my 3 free days to play with my horses, take dogs to the beach, explore, garden, play guitar, rest. I’d love someone to help me with my guitar, or help learn some Portuguese, Spanish or French.
It takes a week to get used to the horses and dogs so someone who wants to stay at least a couple weeks is best. A month or more in winters.
I often take mini holidays, and I am more comfortable with hosting someone happy with that. I seek someone independent, used to looking after a home, cooking, turns lights off when they leave a room etc. Oil is expensive wear a hat, and dress warm. It’s cold and I don’t leave the oil on all day and night. Bring work clothes please. Rain gear too.
My dogs are a big part of living in my home so if dogs annoy you please don’t apply.
I work as a chiropractor Monday Wednesday Friday 11-7 and Thursdays 2-8. If you need free chiropractic care just ask me! I don’t like to push it on people but love to help so don’t be shy, just ask! I settled here from America in 1996 so I am a bit Irish too!
To get to me fly into Dublin or Belfast or City of Derry airport. Please don’t fly into Donegal Airport it’s in the middle of nowhere with no buses. Buses from Dublin Belfast or City of Derry take you to Letterkenny or Derry then get a bus to Newtowncunningham where I live and will collect you.
I live 2 miles from the Newtown Cunningham bus stop and will collect you there on my days off or Letterkenny days I work there. If you arrive after 7 you can taxi direct to my home it’s around €35 .
County Donegal is lovely and scenic with beautiful beaches. Donegal is a beautiful county to explore, Glenveigh Castle and The Giant's Causeway, Bushmills, and loads of beaches are within an hour-2 hour bus ride from my home in Newtowncunningham. Derry is only a short drive and is a nice city to visit too. Belfast is a train ride from Derry, very scenic.
Lots of my workaway helpers have done mini trips themselves to Belfast and Galway especially. If you would like to help me drop me a line.
Thanks Victoria -

Help with animals, especially minding dogs and horses. I need basic help with computer, sorting photos making files doing social media posts. Managing storage space. Learning to change the price on my website. There’s always painting, cleaning, whatever...you can choose what you want to help out with, I am open to suggestions. I've gotten so much in return from many workaways in the past I feel very lucky and open to suggestions. I find most are eager to help so if you have any ideas for improvement feel free to suggest. Horses can be dangerous, insurance is recommended. So far nobody has been seriously injured but riding is a high risk sport and if you do ride here it’s at your own risk. Im not a slave driver, I don't just do workaway to get free help. I love interacting with people from other countries and learning from them. I have hosted over 100 people from all over the world and love hearing their stories.

Hébergement
Nothing too fancy, but the country setting is beautiful. Your own bedroom with a double bed. Shared bathroom with other workawayers (if any around) The shower has bad power so it’s more like a bath than a shower. I don’t use a tumble dryer so drying clothes can be tricky in the rainy winter. Vegetarian only food provided. No meat in my home please. I tried letting meat eaters come but my kitchen stunk of dead animals so now I try to host mostly vegans or vegetarians. Relaxed home with plenty of doggie fun! Cold in the winter so dress warmly. This is Ireland raingear essential, wellingtons too. Work gloves. Hat. Warm lounge wear.

I've spent two months with Victoria and her animals. She gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about Irish culture, mentality, food (vegetarian) and surroundings. We had so much fun and I've never seen a person who love animals this much. In conclusion she is a really good friend, role model and teacher and I enjoyed the time!
