No mucking out or backing required. The aim is to get the horses ready for rehoming. From little pony colt to be trained in hand, to 17hh gelding, including an OTTB mare.

If you think you are suitable please email me: webmaster@egar.org.

I am near Loughrea.

Try PC/RC or maybe some of the local hunts?

If you take someone who has only been to a rs you will have to train them up. Insist they wear a hard hat/gloves/decent footwear for everything and that they have their own insurance.

Perhaps a yard may have a working pupil who wants more handling experience.

Good luck.
