About me

We are a small family of 3, living in Stockholm, Sweden. We are looking to travel somewhere warmer this Easter & Summer (the teenager is away on adventures of her own). We all love animals and have vast experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and farm animals, etc. Non-smoking and non-drinking. Drivers. Responsible and intelligent, (sounds boastful, but it's true and relevant). I have worked at several stables and rising camps, as well as petting zoos. I've trained race horses on Ireland and managed a ranch on Lanzarote. I lived and worked in 13 different countries, We always had dogs and often cats, up until 2021, (current work hours prevent us from having one now). Now we only mind other people's pets when they are away and have a horse some days of the week, here in Stockholm. We can handle any breed of dog. We are currently co-riders on an Icelandic horse twice a week. We are all friendly and outgoing. Fit and always happy to help out. Fred is 48, Irish, a PT, and speaks English, Swedish and Dutch. Very strong. I am 48, Swedish, a personal assistant, teacher and worked a lot with tourism. I speak Swedish, English, good German & Spanish, intermediate Italian and French. Niama will be 8 in May. Speaks fluent English. She adores animals and is now cantering and doing small jumps on horseback. Loves dogs so much she goes to borrow the neighbours dog. Smiley & well-behaved. Dates we are available: Easter, March 28th - April 6th. Summer 1-2 weeks from July 8th - Aug 10th, and possibly June 9th - 17th. Where do we want to go? Well, we're particularly partial to Italy, Croatia, Greece, Portugal, the Alps, Spain, France, Estonia, Bulgaria, but will happily consider anywhere in the world we can fly to relatively easy. P.S. Our big house is available while we are away, if of interest
