Descrição
We are welcoming some help on the property.
Work includes looking after our horses, gardening, house keeping or special tasks and the seasonal upkeep of our property. You are not expected to be helping with any business activities here.
Our family is constantly fluctuating with both people - dogs, cats, and horses.
We are quite social and the dinning table is constantly in use.
We enjoy a family vibe, music, food and the arts.
Conversation is always flowing.
Keeping track of the house and the upkeep is a big job. So it is expected that we all take care of the home we offer.
Its a house that just absorbs the coming and goings. But this takes a team to keep it fresh and organised.
We look forward to positive energetic individuals who enjoy life and being a part of what ever is going on.
If you are handling horses - experience with the care of these animals is essential.
Coming to our yard does not necessarily mean you will be riding horses.
This is very dependant on you and the horses we have at the time.
Helpers usually settle easily. We offer an option to stay on longer as many often stay for a few months or even a year in a few cases.
Contact us if you don't mind a busy family with get up and go that is very inclusive with our helpers.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Andrew and Jane

Nico was with us on two occasions. Covid 19 provided us with an opportunity to enjoy his calm and gentle nature.
Nico quickly became a firm favourite in our collection of memorable helpers.
