Looking for an experienced and competent groom to run our family yard.

Must be energetic and able to manage the hustle and bustle of a busy yard, 2 horses and 6 ponies in work. Most live out at night, except in extreme weather. The children ride two to three times per week in term time and more in the holidays. Help needed dropping off / picking up from hunting, taking ponies and kids to lessons and events. Flexibility is required and no day will be the same, general hours, 8 am - 5 pm, but some days will be longer if after school lessons. 5 1/2 days per week.

We ideally need someone who can drive a 7.5 tonne lorry; if this isn't the case, then experience of towing a trailer.

We need an active, jolly person who can use their initiative to work sole charge when needed, but to also work alongside the Mother to ensure smooth running of four pony mad kids and their ponies! Occasional school run may be required. Experience with children a must.

An extra pair of hands is available in busy times and the Mother helps out with exercising.

To maintain a high standard of turnout is important, including keeping on top of clipping, pulling manes and tails etc is essential.

We are lucky to have amazing off road hacking and a brand new arena. A bonus if you can ride a 14.2 but not essential; but to be confident lunging and riding and leading is a must.

Live in, 3 bedroom cottage available and well behaved pets considered.

This is a long term role and a lovely family to work for!
