Description
We are a couple of travellers who decided to settle down in Portugal, we live in a straw bale house. We bought a land, that had been neglected for many years, we are trying to restore it, clear it, finish off our house and take care of our animals (horses, dogs, cats, pigs and sheep) while enjoying life.

Share our lifestyle, living in a straw bale house, surrounded by nature, see all the good features that come with it. I train my own horses and I also train and help with horses of other people. My methods are gentle, I train with patience and love, never pressure them, always respecting individual needs. My horses live as naturally as possible outside in a herd.
Aide
Need Spring help with gardening - pruning trees, pruning vines, setting up the garden beds, fixing fences around the trees, moving soil, etc. So keen gardeners wanted. I would be eternally grateful. If you want to work outside, breathing fresh air surrounded by nature then this is the place for you.
Our farm is our life, we dont use fancy names such as permaculture, holistic, organic, etc, we simply live surrounded by nature, we respect her to the best we can. Daily work is to feed our animals, currently we have 6 horses, 5 sheep, 4 dogs, 2 pigs and 3 cats. Depending on the season there is garden work, trees cutting, poo picking, general maintenance around the farm, wood picking, fence fixing and changing.
Jobs are not mentally demanding, you can rest ýour mind here from the busy world, heal your soul, breath lots of fresh air, eat tasty food, smile...
In general we need help with many things around the farm. Work here is physically demanding, you should be aware of that. New gardening ideas always welcome. DIY skills are a bonus.
