Since we are still running our own business professionally, we are looking for a general groom to help with daily tasks at the Quinta. The workday lasts about four to five hours and consists mainly of cleaning the paddocks and providing the horses with hay and water in the morning and evening, as well as simple gardening and pool maintenance. You are welcome to use the pool. We work with our horses daily in dressage, free work, and lunging and we go on trail rides. We have a beautiful riding arena with a 360° view. We do not pursue any commercial interests. Depending on your riding level, you may also have the opportunity to ride with us.
