Thoroughbred Industry Careers

Now I will always be partial to the thoroughbred stud industry – I feel there is so much you can learn, be exposed to and gain in the way of skills and experiences working with stud horses!  But at the end of the day, I love the idea of all horse exposure, skills and learning!

It is always good to know about career services that may benefit you on your horse career journey. If you have a desire as a veterinarian to focus on horses, then perhaps the above role is of interest? And if not, it at least opens your eyes to the horse focused possibilities that are on offer to veterinarians.

You may have a focus point for your career now, but who is to say what may occur in 2-5 years time. You never know how you will grow and develop, nor what opportunities may arise. Knowing about various setups and networks can only be beneficial to you.

Career Focus: Female Jockeys

April 29, 2021 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

I was rapt to see an article shared on LinkedIn recently titled, Women rule the world.  You can have a read of this article over at the Australian Turf Club website, where they have provided the Daily Telegraph piece.  This article focuses on the achievement of female jockeys in the horse racing world.

The article was posted on April 12th, highlighting the achievements of female jockeys Jamie Kah and Rachael Blackmore.  Jamie Kah was the first female to win the Doncaster Mile since it first ran in 1866.  On top of this, she was the first woman to win a Group 1 race for Godolphin – incredible!

Career Focus: Female Jockeys | Equus Education

Across the globe, Rachael Blackmore became the first female to win the Grand National.  This race has been running for 182 years. What an incredible couple of achievements for female jockeys!

Just because something hasn’t been done in the equine industry, doesn’t mean it can’t be done.  These two women have no doubt inspired many other females in the industry that want to go on and do bigger and better things for the horse world.

Unsure about what role you could play in the equine industry?  Be sure to check out Vocation 100 on this site – it highlights over 170 horse related careers that you can undertake around the world. Who knows what your contribution to the equine industry may be?

“There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse’s hooves: If one of the horse’s hooves is in the air, the rider was wounded in battle; two legs in the air means that the rider was killed in battle; three legs in the air indicates that the rider got lost on the way to the battle; and four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there’s probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you’re looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.” ― Terry Pratchett

Join the Inglis Team

February 7, 2021 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

February 4 I got an email from Inglis. It had been sent to their mailing list and was about joining the Inglis team.  I love the statement that opened the email:

Find a job that you enjoy doing and you will never work a day in your life.

So very true! And how many are blessed to do a job they love? This could be your chance to secure such a position.  Apparently Inglis have positions in:

  • The bloodstock department and
  • Consultancy and sales

Now the email was short and sweet. The image with the information simply linked to the Inglis website.  But it did state someone with “extensive experience of the Bloodstock Industry in Australasia” is preferred.  But they also said there was scope to “facilitate outstanding candidates in developmental roles”.

I remember the start of my thoroughbred stud journey and education.  Securing a role at Inglis was the key aim for two young men I studied with. Nothing could be better!

So do you have a passion for the thoroughbred bloodstock industry? The email said to send through a Cover Letter and CV to jobs@inglis.com.au.  Good luck!

SpinalVets

May 8, 2020 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

Recently at work I was preparing a new unit for students. One external link that I hadn’t noticed before led to the website for SpinalVets.

Now this led to a site promoting Ian Bidstrup and his equine work. About 15 years ago I was introduced to Ian’s work whilst studying horse breeding.  It seems he is still very actively involved in the horse industry.

SpinalVets | Equus Education

“SpinalVets are a relatively new breed of Veterinarians who have dual university qualifications in Veterinary Science and Chiropractic Science. Often SpinalVets also have post graduate qualifications in Acupuncture as well as training in Osteopathic techniques. They are very positioned to provide a holistic approach to animal health, being able to provide both traditional and alternative or “intergrative” veterinary medicine/surgery.

This site is owned by Dr Ian Bidstrup and is principally here to provide the horse and dog owning public with knowledge of common spine related animal conditions which are found to be clinically responsive to neurological “re-programming”, as can be done via spinal adjustments and acupuncture. We hope you find the content both enlightening and useful.”

I love coming across new horse career websites.  This is especially so if they are promoting a niche or new market in the equine industry.  There really is just so much that you can consider if you want an equine related career.

If you have an interest in pursuing veterinary science focused on horses, then perhaps SpinalVets may also be of interest.

“A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.” – Pam Brown
