General yard work Role

Diamond Riding Centre

We need volunteers to help on our yard with catching in ponies in the morning, grooming, skipping out stalls, filling hay nets, cleaning tack and other general yard duties.

Detailed Description

General yard work around the stables and schools at The Diamond Centre. We need volunteers to help on our yard with catching in ponies in the morning, grooming, skipping out stalls, filling hay nets, cleaning tack and other general yard duties. You don't need to have experience with horses as full training will be given but it is a physical job and some degree of mobility will be required. We do ask for a regular commitment from our volunteers, but this can be for as little or as long a time as you like. Some volunteers spend the day with us, some come for an hour. We are open Tuesday to Saturday from 8am until 8:30pm, so we can accommodate the time constraints that most volunteers have. If interested in this role please contact: Claire Agius, admin@diamondcentre.org.uk, 020 8643 7764
