She also said she'd pay me and we'd find an agreement as she's pretty generous. I was kinda dumbstrucked and said looking after the horses is no problem. But now I'm second guessing myself, especially as I'm not sure whether her youngest son (who is scared of horses, so can't look after them) would be there too. And even if I was alone I mean... staying at her house would just be weird...
And she only told me about the staying there part once I had said I could look after the horses.

I hope she won't ask me to do it anytime soon, because right now I can mainly see negatives. Looking after the horses would be fine, but I just see so many boundary issues and I wonder if this could become harmful for me in the longterm. I trust T that she doesn't want to do anything that may harm me, but she may not have thought of all the consequences....

i think its fine. she wouldnt be there when you are there, anyway. and if you live close enough to her theres no reason you couldnt just come by to care for horses and go home, she probably offered the sleepover in case the distance was too great for you to drive.
