Job Description

Live in or out - Ideal for someone keen and passionate about horses and the sport of eventing

I run an event yard, based at Aston-le-Walls in Northamptonshire, using the incredible onsite jumping and cross country facilities at Washbrook Farm. We range in numbers but usually have up to 18 horses in work from sales horses, schooling horses, youngsters from the early backing stages all the way through the grades to top 5* level. Obviously our main focus is eventing and we are very busy competing most weekends during the season. The yard is run to an extremely high standard, with all the horses receiving 5 star care and it\'s very important to me that my staff are dedicated, reliable and trustworthy. Everything is kept immaculately and I\'m looking for someone with similar high standards of work and attention to detail. It\'s a very friendly team all with a great sense of humour, sharing the same passion for both the horses and the sport as well as being a lovely place of work with a real variety in the day to day routine.
