YALAMBI STUD GROOM/STABLEHAND POSITION (FULL TIME)

Situated in the beautiful Margaret River region, Yalambi Farm Stud, breeders of quality show jumping and performance horses, are seeking a full-time stud groom/stablehand to join their dynamic team.

Ideally, you will have experience in a similar role and be willing to work with foals, handle broodmares, assist with general breeding tasks, prepare horses for daily work, clean stables/tack and generally get involved in the day to day running of a professional barn. The position does require you to work weekends, use your initiative and be a team player but in return Yalambi offer a competitive salary and accommodation on the farm. The role is also suited to travellers seeking a second year visa.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please email your resume to admin@yalambi.com or PM Rory Hovell on Facebook.
