Please only apply for this position if you have experience handling horses. I don't smoke and unfortunately wouldn't want a smoker. The farm is in a quiet rural area so if you don't enjoy quiet then you won't like it here. i also have a few sheep. I practice Natural Horsemanship techniques. Most sports and activities are accessible locally so there's plenty to keep you occupied.
If you are willing to help you will need to be very experienced around horses as the horses are racehorses and they can be unpredictable and are very powerful. In return the horses give you lots of pleasure. I also usually have a horse in full-time training so you will be able to visit the training facility and come to the races when it is running. I cannot however offer you horse riding on the farm as I don't ride the horses. The farm is about 4.5 miles from the town of Carrickmacross which has a great bus service to Dublin. Whatever places you'd like to visit I will help you get there and any hobbies or pastimes you enjoy I will encourage.

La experiencia con Ronald ha sido maravillosa. Es un hombre muy atento, adapta su ritmo a ti cuando habla para que lo puedas entender mejor, y sabe conversar. Me he sentido muy cómoda con él. Por otro lado, las tareas no son muy pesadas y se encuadran dentro del tiempo acordado. Por último, hay que tener en cuenta que es una casa en el campo, así que está alejada del pueblo. Si quieres un retiro espiritual es perfecto, además, siempre puedes viajar los fines de semana.

Ronaldo was always very helpful, from the beginning I felt at home. The whole stay was very pleasant and he was always very understanding. His house is very beautiful and so are his animals, I highly recommend this experience.

Ronald is lovely, respectful, open-minded and funny. I really enjoyed my stay here. I learnt a lot apart from mucking up, which, as a person who knew little about it, it wasn't so difficult to accomplish. The area is amazing and peaceful, as well as the other animals that are near there. The kitchen is well equiped, so you can improve your culinary skills as I did myself. I'd definetely recomend this.

Amazing experience! I had a great time staying in Ronald’s spacious and cozy home. The tasks were mostly simple and just like described in advance. Lots of free time gave me the opportunity to take long walks or bike rides to see the area. Ronald is a very welcoming host and it was a pleasure spending time with him. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a quiet place to see some of the beautiful Irish countryside and to enjoy nature. :)

Ronaldito is very welcoming and accommodating of your needs. He will drop and pick you up if he can to go on trips or into the local villages. The house is relaxing and spacious, and you have the opportunity to read, cook etc. Such a fun time with him and the other volunteers, thank you Ronaldito!!
