EXPERIENCED HORSE CARE ASSISTANT – CASUAL POSITION

I’m looking for an experienced, confident and reliable horse person to join my expanding Horse Care business.

This role involves providing professional Horse Care Visits to clients, so applicants must already have solid horse handling experience and be comfortable working independently.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS

In Her Horse Era provides professional, personalised horse care services to busy horse owners across Adelaide and surrounding regions.

The business is built on trust, reliability and high-quality care. Clients rely on us to look after their horses as if they were our own – whether it’s daily care visits, show preparation, grooming or washing, or short-term support while owners are away.

I’m looking for a team member who shares the same standards and passion for excellent horse care, and who takes pride in delivering a professional and dependable service.

This is a growing business, and the right person will play an important role in providing consistent, high-level care to valued clients.

  • Opportunity for additional shifts as the business grows (it’s growing by the minute!)

  • Must be available for:

    • Early mornings (from 6:00am)

    • Afternoons

    • Some weekends

  • Hours vary depending on client bookings

  • Work will be completed independently at client properties (once deemed competent)

DUTIES MAY INCLUDE

  • Independent Horse Care Visits

  • Feeding and water checks

  • Rugging or fly mask changes or applications

  • Mucking out stables / paddocks

  • Grooming and washing horses

  • Light exercise or lunging

  • General handling and day-to-day horse care

  • Assisting with show preparation when required

  • Strong attention to detail

  • Are teachable and are willing to follow business standards.

  • Good communication skills

  • Physical fitness for manual work

  • Own transport and a valid driver’s licence

THIS ROLE WOULD SUIT SOMEONE WHO IS:

  • An experienced horse owner

  • A rider with practical horse care experience

  • A former stable hand or groom

  • Someone studying equine or animal care

  • Looking for flexible casual work in the horse industry

THIS ROLE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU IF:

  • You have little or no hands-on horse handling experience

  • You are looking for a “learn on the job” position

  • You are not confident handling horses independently

  • Early mornings and weekend availability don’t suit you

  • You are uncomfortable working alone at client properties

  • You’re not physically able to handle manual tasks

  • You need guaranteed set hours every week

  • You’re only looking for short-term work

This position requires someone who can step in with confidence, follow instructions accurately, and represent the business professionally from day one.

PAY STRUCTURE

Please note: this position is paid per service, not per hour.

Each Horse Care Visit is allocated a set rate based on the service provided.
Successful applicants will be paid above standard award rates, with pay reflecting experience and responsibility.

This structure rewards efficiency, reliability and high-quality work, and is ideal for someone looking for flexible, well-paid casual hours within the equine industry.
