We are seeking to appoint a motivated, energetic, and experienced groom for our professional showjumping yard in North Yorkshire.
Your duties will include maintaining a range of horses, for a young amateur female showjumper. While your duties will be largely focused on looking after horses that are in competition, you will also be involved with a small number of young horses. You will also be expected to help maintain the facilities in pristine condition. This will likely involve the driving of small farm vehicles, for grass cutting, harrowing etc. If not already proficient in these areas, then training will be provided. Work at both local and a small number of international shows will also be likely.
You must have exceptionally high standards of yard and equine management for the day-to-day care of our horses and maintenance of equipment & property. Being neat and tidy always is essential! Be confident and capable of working alone. Must have great communication skills and be able to communicate with clients. Have the energy, drive, enthusiasm and “can do” attitude to deliver a wide range of tasks in a timely and professional manner. It would be great if you have a HGV license but this is not essential.
Home Farm is a compact state of the art training facility and is one the best private yards in the UK! Fantastic facilities and even better horses! It’s a very relaxed environment and we all enjoy a chat and a laugh and we’re all very supportive! Having a sense of humour will go a long way.
We have an indoor arena, canter track, numerous fenced paddocks, hacking, and grass arena with a full set of show jumps. Together with 19 beautiful Röwer & Rüb stables, a solarium, two Sebo tack rooms, and clipping/shoeing/veterinary bay.
The position is Live in or Out. With a negotiable and competitive salary commensurate on experience.
