The role
What a stable workers actually does, day to day.
As a Stable Worker, you spend your day caring for horses and animals. You feed them at the right times with the right food, fill their water, muck out their stalls to keep them clean and healthy, and watch them closely to spot if any are ill or lame. You also help groom and exercise them, and you might help a vet if an animal needs treatment.
The work is physical - early starts, heavy lifting, all weathers. But many stable workers love working with animals and being outdoors. You'll learn a lot about animal behaviour and health, and you'll get to know each animal's personality. If you're organized and good with your hands, and you don't mind hard graft, this job can be really rewarding.
