The experience

I need a competent horse rider or someone confidant in handling horses for a minimum of 4 weeks. You would be living and riding in stunning scenery as we live in such a beautiful rural area of Wales, the riding is dependent on the time of year, weather conditions and fitness state of horses, more looking after them, but lots to do with maintenance of garden/land and buildings, shorter stays of 2-3 weeks available if you are not a rider.
