Job Description

We are a small rehab yard in Powys (between Welshpool and Newtown). We take in horses with issues, and currently have 7 horses who are being rebacked and schooled before going on to long term loan homes. We are a not for profit organisation. As we use the best of traditional and natural horsemanship methods, we hope to be able to offer great experience for people wanting to go on to have a career working with horses. Duties include general yard work as well as grooming and the opportunity for groundwork and maybe ridden exercising and hacking out. Hours and days are flexible - but we offer a good working environment and an opportunity to learn new skills.

Requirements

All we need are a few sensible and enthusiastic volunteers who will work with us and our horses. You will need transport to get to us.

Accommodation

This is not a live in position.

Benefits

Opportunities to work with experienced horse professionals and to learn new skills and approaches. The oppotunity to work with a wide range of horses and issues.

The Facility

Rescue and rehab yard using largely natural horsemanship methods and working with horses of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and abilities - all being assessed and re-schooled ready for long term loan homes. This is a not for profit organisation.

6 stables, 40 x 20 menage, quiet hacking on and off roads.
