A temporary job for 6 months over the Spring/Summer. Stud farm based on 800 acres. We are looking for a self motivated person experienced in starting/backing our youngsters. Our homebred youngsters are of show cob size and hunters so are mostly of a quiet disposition. Someone that prides themselves in making a good job - we don't want a production line putting unnecessary pressure on our horses. The horses will be sold as all rounder riding club types.The owner of the yard specialises in natural horsemanship so empathy to these methods would be desired but good horsemanship skills are definitely a requirement. We use a round pen system then try to get the horses hacking out - going forward before schooling in a confined area. We like to take the time it takes and pride ourselves in producing quality, safe, happy horses.
