We need a farm maintenance person to help on our busy small eventing/hunting yard/farm. We have 18 stables, 7 pens, walker, menege, lots of tracks, cross country fences, also access to good hacking. We have ponies competing Show Jumping to a good level. We do some hunting during the winter.
The farm is 240 acres, mainly grassland the rest woodland.
We have a small flock of sheep, and about 30 horses, eventing, hunting, ponies and young stock which we bring on. We breed one or two foals a year.
The job entails grassland management in the spring/summer (rolling, harrowing, topping fields, tracks and verges). In the autumn/winter there is plenty of woodland work (planting, thinning, felling and logging) as well as building maintenance, fence repairs, hedge cutting and hedge laying etc.
We have 4 staff.
The job would include some time working on the yard, mucking out, feeding stock living out, sweeping etc. and riding, depending on experience.
