Waikato Stud’s pre-training facility requires a trackwork rider for post breaking-in education of young horses and general pre-training.

Currently, we begin riding at 9.30am and ride between eight-ten total per morning. This is a Monday to Friday role and there may be flexibility in the riding times to suit the right person. Other duties may include putting horses on/off the walker, using the treadmill and general groundwork.

If you want to be part of a great team and an awesome culture, please send your cv and cover letter to: courtza@waikatostud.co.nz
