Hi there

Heres a few quick questions. Who do you get trained by, how much, how do you rate them, and what have they done e.g. BE, BHS exams etc.

ALSO VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR HOW PEOPLE PAY FOR EVERYTHING!!
 
On the job and have eventers of my own and qualifications i have my B test and am doing an NVQ 3 in racehorse care and managemtent this year!!

But dont think you need anything in the way of qualificationas long as you are competent to do the job!!
 
I had no formal training, just used my common sense (groom for a friend so not as important), I don't get paid as such but do get free lessons as she is my instructer......
 
Well i did do my PC B Test but they're not interested in things like that they want you to be alert, quick to learn, have lots of common sense and work hard! You gain experience quickly and then never stop learning!
 
i dont have any tests part from an NC in horse managment but that doesnt show much part from that i can muck out! im part time and get 5 an hour which is very good pay im lucky and the people i work for are great. I have lessons with one of the riders which i can work for or just pay for.
 
I worked for an eventer for nearly two years without a horse qualification to my name. I knew him through a friend so got the job that way but i used my common sense and dedication to get me through. Loved it!!
