Future Requirements

What would you like to do or gain in your next job?

I am seeking a long-term role within a private household or country estate where I can combine high-standard horse care with broader estate, family or household support.

My ideal position would involve caring for a small number of well-managed horses while also assisting with aspects of estate life such as helping with children’s equestrian activities, supporting family routines, coordinating suppliers or contractors when needed, and contributing to a calm and well-organised household environment.

Alongside my equestrian work I have significant experience in international business, client relations and executive-level organisation, having founded and managed global media platforms and worked with senior creatives and executives across the film and entertainment industries. I enjoy bringing this level of professionalism, discretion and organisation into private household environments.

Ultimately I am looking for a role where I can become a trusted long-term member of a family or estate team while maintaining the highest standards of horse welfare and care.

Do you need accommodation?

Accommodation would be welcomed if relocation is required, though I am also open to live-out roles within commuting distance of Winchester, Hampshire.

I am primarily seeking roles in:

• Winchester / Hampshire (priority)

• New Forest

• Surrey

• Berkshire

I am open to relocation for the right long-term opportunity.

---

Do you have any special requirements for animals you wish to bring with you?

If relocating, I may need to arrange stabling for my own horse, either on the estate or locally nearby. I also have a well-behaved cat who would ideally accompany me if accommodation is provided.

I am very flexible and happy to discuss arrangements that work best for the household.

---

Do you have any ongoing commitments?

I am currently working within a private household as a groom, so I would need to provide appropriate notice before starting a new role.

Alongside this role I founded two media businesses which now operate independently with established teams. These businesses require minimal day-to-day involvement and do not affect my availability for full-time employment.

My Christian faith and church community in Winchester are important to me, and I value maintaining those connections where possible.

Do you have any holidays booked?

No holidays are currently booked.

Experience with Horses

I currently work as a private family groom within a high-net-worth household, responsible for the daily care and management of eventing-standard horses within a country estate environment.

My responsibilities include feeding routines, turnout, mucking out, grooming, tack maintenance, exercising horses, and maintaining excellent yard presentation. I am confident handling fit, athletic horses and monitoring their health and welfare, including recognising early signs of illness and coordinating with vets and farriers.

In addition to my professional work, I have raised and trained my own New Forest pony from foal, giving me valuable experience in groundwork, careful backing and building confidence in young horses.

I hold a licence to drive a 3.5 tonne horsebox and have experience transporting horses safely.

I take great pride in maintaining organised, safe and calm yard environments where horses are well cared for and routines run smoothly.

Alongside horse care, I am also comfortable supporting family environments, helping children develop confidence around horses and assisting with pony care and riding preparation where appropriate.
