Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you’ll do at work
The facilities at Froglands are second to none. There is an equine water treadmill, equine massage equipment, Zamar heat treatment and Claydon walker to name but a few. The farm also boasts a 5 1/2 furlong carpet uphill gallop and both flat and uphill grass gallops, canter ring, outdoor school and lunging pen. From flat horses through stalls to national hunt horses jumping steeplechase fences and rehabilitation of the injured. Individual treatment and attention to detail is guaranteed at Froglands.
Team Dyson are a friendly team who are committed to training both flat and national hunt racehorses, and this apprenticeship offers the chance to also learn some rehabilitation techniques.
Prior horse care knowledge would be desirable however, full training will be given.
Positions available for a riding and non-ridden groom. For the ridden position you will need to be a good rider required with ideally an eventing or show jumping back ground. The horses worked on the flat and they also do grid work and hack around the farm alongside work on the gallops so plenty of variety!
General yard duties such as:
- Mucking out
- Feeding/watering
- Filling hay
- Paddock and yard maintenance
- Grooming and washing down
Opportunity for apprentice to go racing, progress with ridden skills, horsemanship and equine rehab depending on what area one is interested.
The ideal candidate will need to be happy with a cheerful and professional nature, hardworking and willing to learn, work well under pressure with good time management and be a team player.
