EQUESTRIAN

World-class thoroughbred horses require expert care, and the stables are the cornerstone of our clients’ luxury recreational and sporting activities. Our staff are not only extensively knowledgeable about horses, but endlessly passionate too; they pride themselves on keeping the horses happy and healthy, and our clients happy and safe.

World leading facilities enable a host of equestrian pastimes; everything from relaxed hacking, carriage driving and polocrosse to the excitement of cross-country jumping. 

An enthusiasm for teaching is essential. The coaching skills of our staff are developed as they spend time with our clients, creating an enjoyable learning environment, whether it be in the context of formal riding lessons or hosting gymkhana games with clients.

Safety is of the utmost importance. All grooms are fully trained in first aid and receive weekly training from specialist British Horse Society (BHS) instructors in order to achieve BHS and other relevant qualifications. Working with horses can require long hours, but for the right candidate this will be as enjoyable as it is demanding.

An extensive uniform allows all grooms to be fully prepared and excellently presented for any eventuality. Benefits include live-in accommodation and the occasional equestrian event.

Our aim is to ensure that the relationship between our clients and their horses is a mutually beneficial one; if you can guarantee a passion for sharing and enhancing our clients' enthusiasm for equestrian activities, then please view our vacancies:
