Kaukapakapa Auckland - North

Smartie, Parker, Hombro and Sylvester are looking for someone experienced with horses to look after them while I am away overseas for 2 months.
Parker and Smartie are Thoroughbred ex racehorses and Sylvester and Hombro are Warmblood/Sporthorses. The horses are covered and live out in the paddocks, so you just have to give them their daily feeds, check them over and move them to their new paddocks every week and give them a groom now and then. Sylvester has had laminitis once before which is why you need to be an experienced horse person who can recognise this quickly if it happens again.
The only other jobs would be watering the indoor pot plants once a week (5 mins) and maybe mowing the lawn once or twice in the 2 months (optional).

The house is a comfortable 3 bedroom house on 10 acres, in a quiet rural valley yet only an hour from Auckland city. It's 25 mins to Orewa Beach and 35 mins to Muriwai Beach so you can catch the sunrise on the east coast in the morning and the sunset on the west coast in the evening if you want. Good wifi and Sky TV.
There are lots of good regional parks and day trips within 30 mins to an hour's drive to explore nearby with nice beaches and hiking trails.
Kaukapakapa Village is 5 minutes by car and has a dairy (convenience store), a petrol station and a cafe/takeaway. Helensville township is a 10-15 minute drive and has lots more shops, restaurants and a supermarket. Silverdale is 25 minutes away with all the shopping you could ever need so whilst you are living in a quiet rural valley, you have city conveniences close at hand if you need them.
Let me know if you are interested or want to know more.

Cheers, Coral
