Are you an experienced and passionate groom looking for your next adventure? We’re a professional yet relaxed and welcoming yard looking for a full-time, live-in Groom to care for our 13 much-loved horses and ponies. In addition to our own horses, you’ll also assist with our liveries and support our exciting new rehabilitation venture, where we care for horses recovering from injury. These horses stay with us temporarily, and we work closely with vets and physios to ensure each one receives the tailored care they need to make a full recovery.

-

Muck in (and muck out!) as part of a small, committed team
-
