Duties will vary throughout the year, but basic stable management, i.e., mucking out and feeding, will be constant throughout the year, including field checks on youngsters and those loose housed in barns over the winter. During the foaling season (February to May), working hours will be somewhat flexible as we have to fit in with the mares, along with the daily vet visits, which will entail assisting the stud manager and vet in routine scanning of mares and foal checks.
