We are not a business. We have a team of home breed warmbloods ranging from foals to 1.35/40m show jumpers. The job is split between two locations, 15mins from Cambridge on a dry stock farm and 15mins to Hamilton on a ten arce block both locations are 15minutes from each other.
We are looking for a keen, motativated and friendly individual who is happy to help school (be open minded to our methods) hack, lunge, groom, prepare horses for competition, and help out at shows, stabling, mucking out and tacking/un-tacking and jump rails. I pride myself on producing horses that love their work and are kind in nature. All our horses run under the name ending "Bug". We can take up to 12 horses to shows (usually 6) however the workload is spilt between three adults. There is an element of children minding as I have three children, however they are my responsiblity. This just gives me the opportunity to get in the saddle.
We look for help during the competitive season as I work full time. If the candidate is keen to compete, we have a horse you are welcome to for the season. This role includes accommodation, food, internet and use of a car. If this job sounds of interest to you and you are available for the 2023/24 showjumping season starting approximately August/September until early April 2024, please get in contact.
