🐴Horse trainer and stable chores.
The experience
We need help with stable chores, which are 1 hour morning and evening.
We have young horses in several training stages, and we need help to further their education and training. We are trainers and horse breeders, and run horse tours for tourists, so we know a lot about training, but we do not have time enough, because we are also running the horse farm, and horse tours for tourists. So you can learn a lot here.

Program Details
We love horses, and even though we breed horses we do not make a living from that, as the income goes into the costs from that.
So you can learn a lot here.
We make our living from making horse tours for tourists.
We prioritize on our farm using clean energy (geothermal and hydropower), recycling everything possible, animal welfare, avoiding footprints / eco-consciousness, offset fossil fuels, protecting birdlife, producing own food and the hay for our horses, Environmentally friendly cleaning products, with eco-labels if available.
Eco-friendly sewage system.
Local food bought when available.
Activities & Shift
We need help with starting horses under saddle, some starting with basics (work in hand lungeing and such), others can be ridden indoors but need further experience, being ridden more indoors or outdoors.
These are of the breed Icelandic horses.You need background in training horses, but do not have to be familiar to the breed.
Rules
We can not accommodate vegetarians or others with large diet preferences, it's too complicated for ur household.
