This is a unique opportunity for a live-in or out person to look after 5 ponies ( 3 x 148cm & 1x 138cm + 1 retired) for 2 keen children (14 & 9 years old). The older child is keen as mustard and loves to compete (20cm classes. Aiming for top-level with pony SJ – all big national shows attended and hoping to go to a few internationals at the end of the year). The younger child is keen too but very young so the groom will need to be kind and knowledgeable around young children.
This employer is looking for someone who is lightweight IRO 9 stones max to be able to hack out with the children and exercise ride as/when. You will be used to grooming home and away with a license that allows you to transport the ponies to shows in an 18t lorry (Class 2/Cat C HGV license).
All usual duties working in conjunction with the existing groom, who will continue working Tuesday to Friday so there will be some cross over but essentially aside from that, this will be a sole charge position.
Please call Caroline & Team for more information on 0203 006 5730 or email caroline@carolinecarterrecruitment.com
