Experienced groom who is able to muck in and muck out! We are a small private yard in the midst of beautiful location in Thetford Forest between Watton and Thetford. We have 11 horses including 3 retired brood mares, 2 multi National Champion part-bred Arabs/Riding Horses, 1 broodmare in foal, 1 pure bred ridden Arabian and 3 Private Driving horses (including HOYS champion.) This number will soon reduce to 9, as 2 horses are going out on permanent loan. We seek a person able to undertake all the basic yard duties from mucking and turning out, sweeping up, to undertaking a high standard of coat and show preparation, plaiting, pulling manes and tails, helping with farrier and veterinary visits, dealing with horse laundry, and somebody who is confident with and around big and sometime cheeky horses. We need somebody with an eye for detail and who takes a pride in their horses and work. A self starter who knows the everyday needs of the horses. Riding is possible for a sympathetic, knowledgeable and lightweight rider, but is not and essential part of the job. There is a long term live in groom of 15 years working on the property and an maintenance person who assists with mucking out. Owner is involved in running the yard and high standards are important to us. A very happy working environment for a person who is dedicated to and experienced in a similar job. Hours are 8am-5.30pm 5.5 days per week, although we would consider a part time person with the right experience who could offer cover when we are away at shows, 1 full day per week and 5 other part time hours (either 8am to 1pm or 2pm to 5.30pm ) during the day. A car driver with own car is essential. Prefer live out, reliable daily person, but happy to take own horse if required.
