Summer job opportunity. We are looking for someone to be our back-up driver for the long distance rides in the stunningly beautiful Cairngorms, West Highlands and Assynt areas of Scotland.
You will be required to pick up guests, make up horse feeds and help to tack-up/un-tack the horses. Experience with hoof boots would be good as all of our horses are barefoot with boots - training will be given.
During the day, whilst the riders are on the trail, there may be other jobs to do - occasionally a field needs poo picking, but most don't, you may need to stock up on horse feed at a local store or prepare things for the following morning, but there is often time to go for a walk, or chill out. Sometimes we need to put up electric fencing in certain fields.
Between some of the rides you would need to transport horses from the end point of one ride, to the start point of the next.
You must be able to drive a LWB Landrover Defender and tow a horse trailer, often on single track roads and be able to think on the spot, should any problems occur - although I am always just a phone call away to help and support you.
Hours can be irregular with early mornings or late nights at the start or finish of the rides, but during the ride most days start at around 08.30 and finish between 16.30-18.30 in the afternoon, with a few exceptions as there are some half days and some later finishes.
All accommodation and meals are provided and you are welcome a friendly dog. (We may consider an un-paid partner too)
