Registered Nurse with higher degree in Preventive Healthcare - at the moment as an executive producer (and more studies in Fine Arts) - looking for a lifechange opportunity, working in a farm financially well doing enough to pay for an assistant also capable in clinical vet care. Farm has to include horses!

In addittion I'm also interested in learning Portugese. Other language skills: Horse and Animal whisper English, Swedish, and very little Germany.

Contact me asap, many opportunities go by 24/7.

@ingridannea,聽 Welcome.

Here you'll find contact details for some horse farms, equestrian centres, Lusitano horse breeders, etc. in Portugal.

...

You can find more on the net by searching for "turismo rural cavalos Portugal", "criadores cavalos Portugal", "quinta cavalos Portugal", "coudelaria Portugal", etc...

Farm = quinta

Horse breeders = criadores de cavalos

Lusitano is the Portuguese breed of horse. They are very friendly and calm.

Hi and welcome,

Though not exactly what you are looking for but a gentle way of introduction to Portugal small farms (some have horses), maybe contact the organisers and explain you wants.

That sounds like an exciting move! Do you already live in Portugal? There are horses everywhere, but Ribatejo and the Alentejo are majorly horsey areas. In Ribatejo, the area around Goleg茫 is one of biggest, oldest centres, with an annual horse festival in November that has thousands of horses, a celebration of the Lusitano horse. . I don't聽 live near there, though, so my information is general!

Now to an area I do know... In the Alentejo, there are a lot of places in the Alto Alentejo especially (one of the main reasons my husband and I moved here, to Estremoz!). Alter de Ch茫o is a famous breeding and training farm, that also has an agricultural training school. They could be a good resource, even if they aren't hiring now. Another place is in Alandroal, run by an Austrian breeder, that does cruelty-free training (no double bridles with curb bits etc). Also, , near Terena, is starting an equestrian programme and I believe is looking for someone to help launch it. There are a few other places as well, so definitely an area worth considering. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat more!

Happy to read people caring for horses and with horses

I'm in a remote area, but launching hippotherapy sessions for the locals here (EMF of the heart emphasis, no riding - direct meditative contact with horse). I find many locals seem to have respect for people who know how to deal with horses, and this is a nice one I haven't seen as much in our 'modern' world.
