    Description

    Hi people, due to stenosis in my back and neck my working and walking capacity is low but getting better also neurological problems.
    I'm on my own, sometimes very capable sometimes not. I'm looking for people male or female old or young to help me complete some projects in the garden by doing raised beds, hedge laying in the winter and transplanting saplings to make a new hedge. I need windows rubbed down and repainted etc. I have all equipment so not much heavy stuff. Also to be a companion for me. I have a very large room with amazing views in the house or an external studio that will have all except a shower. I have horses here so in the winter there may be some help with them. If you like it here and we get along then it can be a long term thing.

    I have 3 malinois and three other dogs, some dogs they like most they hate so if you're travelling with a companion it wouldn't be suitable.

    I am on the outskirts of Vire in Normandie.
    There are 13 horses here to care for but at the moment only the miniatures are in at night. The ex retired jumping horses will come in when I have help as my back can take it and may need help doing stables but if you can ride - great! I can take farm project people and riders at the same time. I am a private non profit making private yard we are not a riding school or business here.

    I can teach basic dressage, and advanced jumping and natural handling skills but this very much depends on my health now.
    I really care for people. In return I offer a fantastic opportunity for the right person to stay in a beautiful house nestled in a valley not far from Vire, with all amenities. It is undergoing renovations as is outside.

    You will be treated as a member of the family and English is spoken at home.

    Having had some vegans stay I now know what to buy and cook. BUT I can not afford organic meat or vegetables).

    I prefer longer stay people, but will welcome short stayers.

    Looking forward to meeting people from around the world!

    NO heavy smokers or drinkers, we have strict rules on smoking due to my health and fire hazard.

    IF YOU SAY YOU ARE COMING THEN COME. I have a disability, at the moment I am really poorly thus I need to know I have cover for the horses. If you change your dates or don't turn up, you leave me vulnerable and it's not fair when I have put off other more willing people, when you haven't tipped up. Negative feedback will be left in these circumstances.

    Please read this twice or more so that you are aware of my health situation. A document will be sent to you stating what is expected of you so there are no misunderstandings and this false feedback left.
    *Workawayers your passport will be scanned on arrival and luggage searched before leaving* this is due to theft from my property.

    You will be sent 2 forms of extra information for you to decide if this is the place for you, vidéo tours can also be done. I am renovating and also laying a new yard so look past all that and see what a difference you can help me make whilst enjoying a ride weather and my health petmitted.
