𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚

We’re looking for a Ride Leader and Coach to join our Riding centre team at Crieff Hydro. Using your own initiative is essential and on our busy yard you’ll be able to build relationships with our customers and team.

We pride ourselves in being an approved centre. We look after 45 horses and with our 900-acre estate we have the perfect setting for endless hours of hacking, while our outdoor arena is ideal for schooling and teaching.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙮𝙤𝙪:

You'll be an experienced Ride leader with a teaching/coaching qualification. If you hold a UKCC coaching certificate or BHS certificate that would really make us excited to hear from you.

You’ll support the manager by taking responsibility for the business when she’s not there. We have a range of school horses, private liveries and youngsters each with their own unique personalities and abilities, so you’ll have experience in schooling all types of horses to get the best out of them.

We’re looking for a degree of flexibility to meet business and customer needs. We’ll also need to carry out a full PVG Disclosure Check.

We treat our guests like family, and we support our people the same way. If you’re someone who lives our values of Be Creative, Be Curious, Be Thoughtful, Be Positive and Be You, you’ll fit right in.

Through a series of unique, vibration moves over soft tissue, Equine Touch helps unlock balance, relaxation and well being.

It's easy to learn, doesn't require years of study, and opens the door to a deeper understanding of how we can help our horses.

T&Cs:
Your bookings are very important to the Riding Centre team, they are reserved especially for you. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary therefore we respectfully request at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments.

Please understand that when you forget, cancel or change your booking without giving enough notice we miss the opportunity to fill that session time and clients on our waitlist miss the opportunity to ride.
