The Experience

We run a busy friendly equine training and livery yard based in the beautiful Shropshire hills. We require someone to muck in and muck out 😀 A huge variety of horses from serious competition horses who show jump, event and do pure dressage to youngsters and happy hackers. We do require a little experience but are happy to teach anyone wanting to expand their knowledge and expertise.

This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Terri, Andy, and their family are incredibly kind and caring. The animals are just lovely. The place is peaceful, perfect to recharge, surrounded by wonderful people. The work is physical but totally manageable. And the food… unbelievable! Huge thanks to Andy. I've never eaten so well! Truly an unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experience.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this experience and the people who have been part of it. I felt so welcomed and loved at Terri and Andy's house that it truly seemed like I was living with a new family away from my own. The tasks were all very well explained and easy to do. It's amazing to see the passion that Terri and Philippa talk about the horses and how they have no problems on teaching you things. And soon you get to understand why that passion exists. I've bonded with the horses in such a magical way that the hardest part was to say goodbye in my last day.

The home It's a place that embraces all forms of life. Alongside the horses, there are also cats and dogs to be with. The working hours are very reasonable. During spring/summer, the horses are out in the fields and our main tasks are feeding them, cleaning up the poop and pet them. We also help with gardening, like weeding and similar small tasks. The place has a special atmosphere, and everyone is kind and welcoming. In the evenings, Andy prepares great meals, creating the perfect setting to share stories and connect with others. Horses are such noble creatures! I already miss them :')
