How a search runs

The discipline sets the vetting depth, the qualifications required and the season we are working around. The workflow stays the same: a proper brief, a considered search, ranked candidates, trial visits where useful, end-to-end offer support.

1. Yard-level brief

We come to you or arrange a video call. We ask about the string, the discipline, the seasonal calendar, the accommodation setup, the yard culture and the standard of horsemanship the role requires. Written brief for sign-off before we start.

2. Discreet search and vetting

We approach our network and the active market. Every candidate is spoken to about horsemanship, qualifications, current yard and competition record. We follow up with references from someone who has actually worked with them.

3. Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates presented with our written notes. Trial-day visits arranged where the role calls for one. Accommodation matched to the candidate’s situation. Availability, notice period and reference readiness confirmed.

4. Offer and settle-in

Offer support, accommodation and start-date logistics coordination, and follow-up check-ins at day 30 and day 90 to make sure the placement settles onto the yard.

What sits outside our scope

Roles that are not equestrian. If you ask us to fill a corporate finance or software engineering vacancy, we will refer you out. Sole specialism is what makes our shortlists arrive with candidates who actually know their way around a yard.
