  Aide

  We are looking for 1 person at the moment.
  We have a vegetable garden, planted trees, Growing some flowers too. Still adding.
  Our 4 horses are between 25 and 2 years old.
  They have open stables and go on the field every day. We work from the ground and some are ridden.
  To make a long story short, it is a great place to be but to keep it up would be great to have an extra pair of hands sometimes. If there is someone who could share our pleasure and burdens at times that would be a good thing.
  You can help us with lots of things.
  If you have more experience with horses feel free to share that. Gardening, mowing. . Repairs of fence. Painting walls. Cooking if that interests you.
  At the Moment may 2026 we are building a new green house you can help with that if that interests you. We also would love to make a chicken house and area for them.
  We have written minimum 2 weeks but of course if there is no click between us feel free to go but hey we are looking forward to meet you!

  Hébergement

  We have a small caravan stationed. We can attach a floor and a big front tent, this makes a great place to stay. We stayed in it for a month before we could move into the house. We have plans this year 2026 to make a bathroom near the caravan. (You help us build it?)
  WiFi is reaching the caravan.
