THE HORSE TRUST

Groom

Do you want to work for a great team that always puts the horse first?

Where the equines are provided with the best possible quality of life based on their
individual physical and psychological needs.

The Horse Trust exists to advance excellence in equine care and improve the quality of life
of equids in the UK.

At our Home of Rest for Horses we specialise in providing retirement and respite for
working horses and ponies.  These hard-working equine public servants have served our
nation in the Police, the Army or with charities that use horses to help people.  We also
provide sanctuary to horses, ponies and donkeys who have suffered from cruelty or neglect
and who are in desperate need of specialist treatment and care.

We are looking for full-time/part-time or occasional Grooms to join our dedicated Equine
Care Team.  Our Equine Care Team consists of Grooms, Senior Grooms and a Head Groom

What can we offer you?
