  • Lighter household duties to keep things running smoothly
  
  We’re Looking For:
  • Organized, enthusiastic individuals with a can-do attitude
  • Previous experience with horses and dogs is a big plus

  Aide

  We are looking for an independent, all-round talent (or a couple) that can support Sandra with the daily work on the farm.
  
  Daily tasks on the farm include cleaning stables, feeding horses, taking horses in and out between the pasture and stable and checking on the herd, so we need someone who is at least comfortable around big animals.
  
  Maintenance projects like fixing fences and do paintjobs can also be regular tasks. We would love to host someone who likes to cook and bake as well as it is hard for Sandra to find the time for that between her work at the airport, training horses and taking care of a million other things.

  Hébergement

  Private room and bathroom
  
  Meals are included, however it will be very difficult to accomodate a strict vegetarian/vegan diet in our households, therefore we would prefer non-vegetarians/non-vegans.
  
  Vegetarians/vegans are welcome, but would have to supply their own food.
