What is Kirstys Horses?

Kirstys Horses provides a high quality horse sitting service across the UK. Horse sitting gives horse owners the answer to their horse care problems while they are away on holiday, tied up with work or otherwise engaged. Rather than taking the horse to a livery yard we care for the horse while it remains in its familiar surroundings and usual routine. We aim to provide our clients with the highest quality of care for their horses, caring for them as if they were our own.

We are currently expanding across the UK and are looking to recruit local people to provide our range of horse care services.

This is where you come in!

It has been seen time and time again, that local people are best suited for growing businesses as they fully understand the community in which they live in.

The chances are you will already know loads of people in your area who are involved in the equestrian world in some form or another making you a perfect candidate to become a horse sitter.

It is important we tell you at this stage we do have a selection process. We have to recruit the very best horse sitters to ensure we maintain the highest standard of care. If you are interested in becoming a horse sitter please complete the form on the right and a member of our team will let you know more about the selection criteria.
