I am 23 years old and did my apprenticeship in a racing stable in Germany from 2006 til 2009.
There I had to muck out stables, look after the horses, train them for races, breaking in yearlings, accompany horses to races and take care of them, and start in races myself.
After an accident on the racing track I had to take a break, but now I am trying to get myself back in shape.
I have a lifelong experience with horses, am sensible and calm, but also able to hold a pulling horse. I can work in a team and in self-responsibility. I am passionate, reliable and always on time.
After spending 18 month in Australia, I have mastered the English language fluently, though I might be a little bit out of trainig.

Horse Jobs
Horse jobs are for those that "live and breathe" the equine. Those who don't "live and breathe" horses, are far less likely to be found in the company of these amazing creatures. Far beyond the needs of horse racing (although it still plays the role of dominant force), the equine industry is bleeding with thousands of horse jobs from blacksmith to trackwork rider.
There is no simple answer as to how to get work in the equine industry - a horse job - but a degree such as a diploma of equine science is a good start. In contrast to this, if you're looking for a hands-on job, such as a trackwork rider or farrier, then experience in the field is often far more valuable than the education behind it. All you really are required to obtain is a keen interest and love of all things horses.
Although most horse jobs require practical education and training - potentially even from a higher education center such as a university - it can be of particular incentive for your employer if you have some experience physically working with the horses. Whether it's in the exact role you're attempting to enter or not, many people have found that simply working at filling any horse job will assist in the obtaining of more specified horse jobs.
For instance, if you're going for a job as a horse trainer, it couldn't hurt to have been an assistant trainer or even a foreman for a few years. If you've got no experience at all, we can recommend just getting out there and trying to find some weekend work mucking stables or washing horses down - best case scenario, often potential employees are found through volunteer channels, so it can potentially prove to be very valuable experience indeed!
The internet is today one of the best sources of information on equine employment. You can use search engines to look up equine jobs in your locality, or surrounding areas. In addition to various job listing websites such as "monster.com", you should consider looking for equine employment in general equine sites.
Once you think your CV is ready, it's time to get started at Equus Connect! Start by signing up as a Job Seeker (Standard) and filling out an Equus Connect resume. Once saved into the system, you can apply for an unlimited number of jobs on the website. Send out your resume to 1 job, 10 jobs or 100 jobs - it's all up to you!
There are thousands of avenues for horse jobs and we think we've got the best of them. Just make sure the job suits you and your lifestyle - don't agree to work at the break of dawn if you sleep until noon! We're sure you're excited about getting started, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and bag yourself the best horse job in town!
