SPILLERS to advise at BHS Careers event at RWH

SPILLERS® nutritionist Sarah Nelson is proud to be joining the advisory panel at the British Horse Society’s (BHS) popular Careers with Horses event at the Royal Windsor Horse Show (RWHS) this year.

The careers sessions, to be held on Wednesday 11 May in the BHS marquee next to the Frogmore Arena at RWHS, are aimed at helping school children, as well as BHS members to find out more about the range of job opportunities available in the equestrian industry. 

Sarah Nelson, who has been an equine nutrition advisor at SPILLERS® for the past six years, will be joining a member of the Mounted Police Force, a saddler, an equine dental technician and a BHS instructor to offer information and advice. The sessions will be run in a ‘speed dating’ style, comprising five presenters and five tables of up to 10 interested candidates. The presenter will talk to each table for 15 minutes, about their career, how they came to have their current position and any qualifications required for their role. Individuals will also have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions in a relaxed setting. The presenter will then move on to the next table and the process will be repeated.

“This is such a good, informal opportunity for school leavers and those considering changing careers to find out more about working in the equestrian industry,” said Sarah Nelson. “I am proud to have been invited by such a prestigious educational organisation as the BHS to participate and am very much hoping to meet plenty of aspiring equine nutritionists!”
