-Space for own horse, prefered, not essential
-A bit of a wage be nice too!

I have...
-My trailer test
-Stage 3 riding, Stage 4 care (would like to stage 4 riding)
-National Dimpolma, Distinction, top of my year
-Experience producing and turning out in showing, including grooming at Highland show etc, winning best turnout in class (basically I can plait!!)
-Eventing experience, Intro level
-BSJA on ponies
-Point to Point/ racing riding experience
-Breaking in experience

Anyone know of anything?? or if possible keep an eye out for me. :)

May be interested in travelling abroad too, I speak (a tiny bit) of German, if that helps, so placements abroad considered.
 
Sometimes you do get grooms positions where there is ongoing training. When I worked with them a lot of the working pupil places are geared towards stage 2 & 3, but there are some that appreciate someone that can work at a higher level. I did my 4 as a sole charge groom for a small private dressage yard, they got someone capable of managing their yard unsupervised for a smaller wage, I got better pay than a working pupil usually does & training. But if you have few ties there are plenty of opportunities abroad that generally pay better/ more perks.
 
Littlelegs- That sounds better really, I have already worked as a groom in a riding school and I am currently working part time as a groom in a point to point yard, so unlike a lot of working pupils I have had several jobs and several very good references.
I would like to get my HGV as well which would make finding a job a bit easier.
