Seeking a working student to assist us with the daily opperation of our training and breaking business. Duties may include preparing feeds and feeding horses daily, catching, handling and preparing horses for us to work with, groundwork and riding of horses in training where appropriate. Other duties may include cleaning paddocks of manure, assisting with fixing fences, building obstacles etc. As well as training horses for clients we teach many lessons and horsemanship clinics, so assistance with these may also be involved.
A large portion of the position will be to be a nanny for our baby who turns 1 in September so it is important that you enjoy looking after babies and all that that entails.
There will be lots of opportunities to ride, both in the arena and out around the property and trail rides. We are moving to a new property at the start of July, which will provide lots of fun as well as lots of work! It is important that you are prepared to be flexible as each day is different, we do not generally have a strict schedule so you need to be relaxed about going with the flow of our daily routines and changes.
The ability to speak French is advantageous as our family is both English and French speaking as we are French-Canadian as well as Australian.
