Rare Opportunity – Volunteer Stable Hand Position

Open to applicants with or without their own horse

We are looking for a reliable, hands-on person to join our busy eventing stables in a volunteer role. If you love being around horses, enjoy keeping things organised, and want to be part of a hardworking team — this could be the perfect fit.

This role offers the chance to be part of a professional eventing program, led by an established FEI-level rider. You'll gain valuable behind-the-scenes experience in how a performance team operates — from daily training to competition preparation and everything in between.

What we offer:

  • Option to bring your own horse
  • Involvement in lessons, clinics, competitions, and training days
  • A supportive team environment with guidance and training provided
  • Flexibility around hours for the right person
  • After a probationary period, there may be a small allowance to help cover travel costs

Duties include:

  • Mucking out stables and cleaning horse boxes daily
  • Feeding, rugging, grooming, and general horse care
  • Sweeping, tidying, and keeping facilities organised
  • Tacking up, untacking, and washing down horses
  • Cleaning and maintaining tack and equipment
  • Helping with packing/unpacking for lessons, training, and events
  • Assisting at competitions and clinics
  • Lunging performance horses — confidence on the ground is important
  • Plaiting horses for events (training provided if needed)
  • Using initiative and being proactive around the stables

This is a very hands-on role, ideal for someone who takes pride in their work and can be trusted to work independently once trained.

Riding is not a guaranteed part of this position, but for the right person, opportunities may be available over time.

Hours:

A mix of early mornings, afternoons/evenings, and some weekends. We are flexible for the right person.

If this sounds like the right environment for you, please apply with your CV and a short cover letter outlining your horse experience and availability.
