Stud Hand

We focus on good starting foundation with a holistic approach to their wellbeing, giving our horses the best possible start to their racing career.

Duties will include feeding horses, making feeds, mucking out, handling horses – from foals all the way up to broodmares, yearling prep, attending Perth sales for up to a week, some farm work – including mowing and driving a tractor.

Regular hours are Monday to Friday and generally one weekend a month.
