  Late August / September we need help to maintain and pick (and eat..) fruit from our organic plum trees.

  I do not give riding lessons or offer riding for beginners.
  
  I can teach good horsemanship, how to understand horses, behavior, sensitivity, contact and care. Riding is just for experienced riders max 55-60kg. We have one small sensitive riding horse mare with a big warm heart, and a sweet welsh mountain gelding child pony born in 2001. Our horses are used for hobby. They are social and friendly, they always talk to us when we walk out the door. I got my first pony in 1985 so its a lifetime passion.
  
  We eat normal healthy food (are not vegetarian), but can adapt for shorter periods if there are guests who love to cook. We share on cooking and cleaning. We can take visitors that`s vegetarian but not total vegan or need gluten free diary.
  We are not big spenders, try to care for the environment, like second hand stuff, have a normal life & standard.
  
  Travelers that need short stays (from one night) are also welcome.
