Horsey vegetarian

Live free in the country with 8 horses and 3 dogs. The animals are lots of work and play and you will love them all. Caring for them, exercising them, dog sitting when I work,etc. Terrier dachshund mix Roxy, Grace, and Rollie bark a lot if this bothers you please don’t apply. Every time someone walks down the hall they bark bark bark its a nuisance but it is what it is.
I’m a chiropractor and work on people and horses I may be able to help you with spinal maintenance.
My partner and I like to take mini breaks and need responsible reliable pet lovers to look after pets, stables and my home.
County Donegal has outstanding beauty throughout the county. We go to a beach 1-2 times per week early in the morning around 7-7;30 to exercise the dogs.

I’m a self employed chiropractor, and love my pets to the moon and back. I officially work on people in Letterkenny Monday Wednesday Friday 11-7 and in Derry Thursday 2-7. I am an extrovert, active, like the guitar, yoga, exercise, and at 60 years of age know how to enjoy my life to the fullest. I prefer to host animal lovers, vegans/vegetarians, with horse and dog experience. Ive hosted people from Japan, Malaysia, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, the Basque Country, a lot of Germans, and more on various sites since 2011. I love meeting people from different countries and learning about their countries. I love to host them and show them our beautiful Donegal. Volunteers will have their own bedroom in my home and a shared bathroom. I provide vegetarian food only and don't allow any animals to be eaten in my home. I expect help 8:30 am Monday Wednesday Friday cleaning stables, watering horses, etc until I go to work at 10;15. You can find various jobs around here for the rest of the day til I return around 7:30, the most important is minding my 3 dogs. Those are the most important times I need your help that I can list. I need help doing loads of stuff, you can chip in with what you are abe for. I really need help lifting hay cleaning stables carrying water general help around the place.

Victoria is amazing. We had such a wonderful time together. She is super flexible with schedules and work. Beyond her great hospitality and experience, she also took us to the beach. And since i play guitar, she even brought me to a pub so i could perfom. All of this was done with genuine kindness and from the heart. She truly wants to make every moment unforgettable.
I will always carry these memories with me. Her adorable dogs are full of love to give, just like her beautiful horses. I can only be grateful for the incredible time Victoria gave us.
I really hope we can meet again Victoria!

I wouldn’t recommend staying here I was there for three days and it was too much. The host was mistrusting and would go on aggressive rants as a way to explain things, would act like I was going to do it wrong before I did anything. The whole time I was there I felt like I was walking on eggshells since there were so many little things that bothered her it was hard to keep track of. She would be really rude and try to make me feel dumb if anything was slightly not what she wanted. After I left I got a somewhat incoherent message accusing me of stealing but I did not take anything at all.

The girl was utterly dangerous around young horses not only to herself but to my beautiful horses as well!
I think she was having difficulties and just wanted to go to pubs and have a vacation not work at all.

I stayed there for 6 weeks and I had an amazing time with Victoria and her dogs and horsies. I didn’t have any previous experience so some days were tougher that the others but I learned so much and it was very fun. The dogs are super cute and cuddly ( and also super noisy sometimes)))) but they make the experience so much more special. I enjoyed learning how to take care of horses and Victoria gave lots of opportunities to help you gain as much knowledge and confidence as possible.
Victoria is an amazing host and she does her best to listen and help.

I spend more than a month at Victorias and it was a great experience. She is a good character, welcoming and energetic. The dogs are cuddly, they love to go on walks and are a bit crazy (but in a good way😉). I didn't have any horse experience before, so there was a lot to learn and I did. Victoria is not the best at explaining, which was a bit frustrating sometimes, but she will try her best to make you understand. It was fun to have the chance watching her adjust horses. Because of her experience she can tell you a lot about horses and their behaviour.
She is fun! I can 100% recommend it😊
