A Career with Horses in Ireland?

Working with horses is a very diverse and satisfying career, with conditions varying from yard to stud farms. For example, you may be a track rider wanting to further your skills in racing or wish to groom for a great horse in a showjumping or eventing yard, perhaps you would like to work with a future derby champion.

The selection of positions and career opportunities are endless and only limited by your ambitions.

Examples of the positions always available include

• grooming for one of Ireland's leading showjumpers
• riding track work in established group winning racing yards
• instructing in state of the art riding centres, or
• working on some of the many multi-national stud farms based in Ireland.
