Are you someone who likes to learn 'hands on' and wants to become a Top Class Knowledgeable Groom, expand your horsemanship knowledge, groundwork, and work horses to improve their way of going? Are you looking to take a gap before starting uni, or looking to gain industry experience before commencing a higher equine qualification? Want to gain qualifications, but not attend college?
THEN we offer comprehensive training for a Intermediate or Advanced Apprenticeship in Horse Care from our competition yard.
The job involves all normal stable duties, the exercise of competition horses and travel to shows.
Whilst you need to have some practical knowledge of yard duties and need to be competent, confident rider, happy to ride fit horses hacking or in the school, we will give you full training to reach the required standard as a competition groom.
This is a full time position 5.5 days a week, 7:30 - 17:30.
You must want to do things well and like things to be organised, clean and tidy, as we work to a high standard.
Our horses are treated as individuals and our Grooms must have their welfare at heart.
You will be expected to groom for up to six horses, once qualified.
For someone that is already competing in Showjumping we would be able to offer you staff livery for your horse. This would give you the opportunity to do some ridden training with a BS Accredited Coach and to travel to some national BS shows with us.
Modern Accommodation, on site, is available and the position is live in.
You will work alongside two other full time Grooms, who are hard working, love horses and are easy to get along with.

You should:- have a love of horses and like to care for them, be prepared to work to a high standard, enjoy working as a team member whilst being able to work alone when needed and most of all be cheerful & conscientious with pride in your work.
We do not not cater for any pets. For the right candidate it is possible to bring your own horse on staff livery.
