A ‘nags n nanny’ role that’s more equine than children!
70% horses 30% ‘mother’s help’
We are looking for a proactive and energetic groom to run a small family yard. Pony club, competing children and hunting so must be able to turn out to a high standard. Ideally small enough to keep ponies fit, we are looking for a kind and calm jockey. Beautiful places to ride. Lorry/ trailer driver preferred. This is a fun and varied role looking after lovely ponies. Candidate must be patient with children, have an eye for detail and be confident to keep ponies with busy lives.
The right person will need good time management to factor in other family jobs such as occasional school pick ups, household errands / shopping, driving ponies to rallies and training. A competent cook would be a bonus but not vital.
We are a large busy family, we look forward to finding someone positive and flexible to work closely with mum and join the team.
