Welcoming workawayers to our horse farm in Catalonia, Spain

  Descrição

  Hi!
  
  My name is Pepa. Me and my 7 year old son Martin live in a horse farm close to Tarragona, Spain. Currently we have 7 horses, 6 ponies, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I run a small NGO dedicated to horses from the perspective of  respect and companionship. Horses stay in the outdoor paddocks which are connected to the boxes, they are free to stay in or out at their own will.
  
  Martin's dad passed away in February 2023 and I became a one-parent family. Since then, it is proving difficult for me to find some quality time with my son. I am now in the process of finding ways to resize the entire projet so that I can have some quality time with Martin.
  
  I open my stables and home to anyone interested in staying with us a few months and help us take care of the animals.
  The main duties for the Workawayers would be making sure that the horses and dogs are well cared for, so basically feeding horses and mucking the paddocks. Horses eat hay three times a day and some of them eat dry food twice a day. Dogs eat twice a day. 
  
  Riding in the stables would be allowed for experienced Workawayers. We have a dressage arena to ride and a 20m round pen to lounge horses. Sitters could also join some outside trails with our teacher when scheduled. 
  
  This could be a great opportunity for a couple or family with experience caring for horses willing to spend some time around horses. The daily tasks would be perfectly compatible with an online part-time job (we have wi-fi in certain common areas of the farm). We also organize activities for families and kids, so it is a good opportunity to blend with the local culture.
  
  Workawayers with their own campervan are also welcome, we have space for campervans and can provide with the electricity connection. We also have common areas with bathrooms, washing machine, shower, desks for working, and even a separate kitchenette.
  
  We offer several voluteering packages based on the type of Workawayer and their volunteering goals:
  - Single volunteer/accommodation only: 3h/day, 5 days a week in exchange of accommodation
  - Family volunteer/ accommodation only: 5h/day 5 days a week for one of the parents. This option is available both for families who need accommodation or those coming with their own campervan the family and use the common areas during the day.
  - Single volunteer/food and accomodation: 5h/dat 5 days a week. (Option available for specific profiles, such as handyman, carpenter, construction, etc)
  
  Thanks for reading me all this far long! Looking forward to reading you :)

  Our stables are in a semi remote location. We live 400m away from a small village, where buses run on very specific hours. Although it is possible to be without a car, it is highly recommended have your own one.
  You can walk and byke , or take a bus/car to the beach, Port Aventura (the amusement park) or Salou/Cambrils. Trains also run to Barcelona every 30 mins, and the fast train (AVE) station is not far from our place.
