The yard would like to develop the successful applicant as a valued member of the team, and would hope to inspire them to engage in further professional development and work with the family long term.

Duties will include all aspects of daily care of livery client’s horses, assisting with yard organisation and presentation, assisting with professional visits such as vets, farriers and saddlers, record keeping of care and services provided, assisting with preparation for and running of unaffiliated, in-house competitions, opportunity to observe liveries’ lessons and train in exercising clients’ horses.
