Job Seeking UK Site

April 7, 2014 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

A group on LinkedIn I’m a part of has recently received a post advertising Network Horses, an online equine community that has an employment section on their site.

This appears to be a UK based site and has some great looking jobs currently being advertised. Current jobs include:

Instructing in Hong Kong
Being an international sales manager for Carr & Day & Martin
Being a press and public relations officer for Grandstand Group
Commission based Equissage self employment in the UK
A saddler position and telesales position with Barnsby Saddles in Walsall
Freelance Groom positions including riding, in Derbyshire

I love seeing what positions are on offer around the world, and knowing of one that commonly advertises in your area or a place in the world you wish to travel to can be of benefit! Enjoy 🙂

“We gaze upon their quiet beauty, their natural elegance, and we are captivated. They see us softly, in gentle light… rewarding human companionship with strength, grace and intelligence. As they run through arenas and open fields, past mountains and seas, moving like the wind toward heaven, we travel with them, if only in our hearts.” – Author unknown

Friday Feature: Hospitality (Horses)

April 4, 2014 by Christine Meunier 1 Comment

This week’s letter is H (I only currently have one equine related career that starts with G – Graphic Design). If you missed last week’s Friday Feature, take a look at Finances (Equine).

Everyone needs to eat. If you can do so at a place that is horse themed in some way, all the better! I have had a Christmas work break up at a Winery that used to be a horse stud and was decked out in some old stables – it was great!

I believe being able to provide hospitality with a horse related theme is only limited to the imagination. A trail ride my husband and I went on last year had a 3 hour option that included lunch that was grown and cooked on the property where the horses were kept – a nice way to add to a horse ride!

A niche cafe in Melbourne or another major city that has horse mugs, saddles on frames as seats and horse themed food (carrot cake comes to mind) would also draw my attention 😉

If you have a desire to mix hospitality and horses, you may need:

equines or horse themed items
a facility that is horse related
cooking skills/qualifications

If you have a passion for horses, food and entertaining, then maybe the idea of hospitality with a horsey theme is worth considering! For some posts that relate to this topic on Equus-Blog, take a look at:
