I finish university in five weeks time, and it's always been my plan to go and spend a year as a working pupil. Although I know I will never be a 3* eventer or a gp rider I've got the drive and determination to know that I really, really want to learn as much as possible now whilst I'm in the position to. I have a solid background working with various types of horses and many references available to future employers.
I've had a working pupil position with an eventer sorted since February, but was informed a few days ago that they can no longer take me on. To say I'm gutted is an understatement, but I know how fragile the sport can be.
Anyway I waffling now... I've appled for about 8 similar jobs since Wednesday and have as of yet had no answer either way from any of them. I was just wondering if anybody knew of any working pupil positions going?
I'm happy to go to a dressage or eventing yard, but I really need to be able to take my horse and living in is pretty essential (one parent moved to america and the other following so my horse and I are pretty much homeless!)... Also as near to Warwickshire as possible. I know that's fairly picky but I would like to be (fairly!) near to the bf so I have got somebody near me (3ish hours circumference is pretty reasonable I think) and I am restricted by transport too. However, I'm open to options so may be persuaded otherwise by the right job.
Thanks everyone
