GROOMS JOBS BOARD

Equine rest and retirement home. Set in the magnificent Brechfa Forest in south Wales, we specialise in long term care for elderly or convalescing equine friends.

Our 45 acre family farm is nestled in a peaceful secluded valley, and provides sheltered meadow grazing with access to woodland and streams. Established in 2006, we believe in dedicated individual care rather than a large commercial enterprise, and we therefore limit our capacity to 15 horses, plus a small flock of sheep to assist with grazing management.

Looking for an apprentice who is keen to learn and work with horses with health problems. Must be capable and confident with handling horses.  Owing to location, own transport an advantage.
