Are you looking to work with horses in the beautiful West Coast of Ireland ?? Look no further :) We are looking for somebody who is passionate about horses and would like to come to Ireland to improve their English communication skills. The suitable person needs to be a strong rider and comfortable taking care of customers whilst on horseback as an assistant to the main trek leader. This person needs to be reliable, honest, loyal and pleasant to work with. Carrowholly Stables prides itself in providing excellent customer care and therefore a willingness to communicate with customers is desirable and likewise this will improve your English language skills. Furthermore, the general yard duties include tacking up, mucking out, sweeping yards, feeding, grooming/washing horses at the end of the day. Therefore a strong work ethic is necessary. Riding experience alone is not sufficient. The ideal candidate must ideally have experience working in a stable environment with several horses and not just experience looking after their own horse at home. You MUST enjoy this type of work. We are an honest and hard working family and we will do our best to make your stay beneficial as training and language assistance will be provided.
