Equestrian Employer Details
I run an event yard, based at Aston-le-Walls in Northamptonshire, using the incredible onsite jumping and cross country facilities at Washbrook Farm. We range in numbers but usually have between 15-20 horses in work from sales horses, schooling horses, youngsters from the breakers all the way through the grades to top 5* level. Obviously our main focus is eventing and we are very busy competing most weekends during the season. The yard is run to an extremely high standard, with all the horses receiving 5 star care and it's very important to me that my staff are dedicated, reliable and trustworthy. It's a very friendly team all with a great sense of humour, sharing the same passion for both the horses and the sport as well as being a lovely place of work with a real variety in the day to day routine.
