Why equine businesses choose us

An industry-fluent partner, not a generalist.

We built the firm around what allied equine businesses were missing from mainstream recruitment: genuine industry fluency, credential rigour on the trade-body side (BETA, SMS, RSA, BE/BS/BD), and one accountable consultant on every brief from intake through onboarding follow-up.

i. Industry-fluent

We know the trade before you brief us

Our consultants recruit inside the equine industry vertical they serve. You spend the intake call describing the role and the team, not educating us on your business.

ii. Credential-rigorous

Every qualification verified before shortlist

BETA membership, SMS saddlery qualifications, RSA/BHS-recognised riding-school experience, specialist equine insurance sector time (KBIS/SEIB), event-team experience with BE, BS or BD. All checked before an introduction.

iii. Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates, with our notes

Not a stack of unfiltered CVs. Three to five candidates ranked, credential-checked, package and notice-period confirmed, our written notes on each.

iv. One consultant

End to end, from intake to onboarding

The consultant who took the brief runs the search, closes the offer and calls at day thirty and day ninety. Nobody hides behind an inbox.

v. Honest package advice

We tell you if the band is light

If the package is under the equine industry market for the role and the region, we say so on the first call. Better a difficult conversation up front than a stalled search after four weeks.

vi. Replacement guarantee

We stand behind every placement

Every permanent placement carries a written guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.

How an engagement runs

Four steps from brief to landed hire.

i.

Intake brief

Role, package, timeline, must-haves agreed in one call. Written brief returned within 24 hours for your sign-off.

ii.

Considered search

Active network across the equine industry plus discreet approach to passive candidates. Client identity withheld until you release it.

iii.

Ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates, credential-checked, notice-period confirmed, our written notes on each, ranked with reasons.

iv.

Offer & land

Interview coordination, offer structuring, counter-offer support, onboarding follow-up at day 30 and day 90.

Twelve allied equine sectors

Where we recruit.

The business side of the UK equine industry, covered by consultants who know the trade bodies, the retailers, the brands and the reality of running an equine business.

Sector 01

Equine Retail Management

Store managers, area managers, buyers and merchandisers for tack shops, feed stores, boutique equestrian retailers and national equestrian chains.

Sector 02

Feed & Nutrition Business

Sales reps, area managers, technical advisors and product development for BETA-affiliated feed and nutrition brands.

Sector 03

Saddlery & Tack

Master saddlers, SMS-qualified fitters, production leads and retail managers for saddlery makers and specialist tack retailers.

Sector 04

Horsebox & Transport

Fleet managers, sales executives, workshop leads and operations managers for horsebox manufacturers and equine transport operators.

Sector 05

Equine Insurance & Brokerage

Account executives, underwriters, claims handlers and business leaders for specialist equine insurance firms and brokerages.

Sector 06

Riding School Business Mgmt

Owners, operations managers and general managers for RSA-recognised and BHS-approved riding-school businesses.

Sector 07

Equine Health Business Ops

Practice managers, business admin leaders and operations directors for equine vet, dental and therapy businesses. The business side, not clinical.

Sector 08

Equestrian Event Ops

Event coordinators, showground operations, judge-liaison teams and event leadership for BE, BS, BD and independent event organisers.

Sector 09

Equine Marketing & Media

Editors, journalists, brand marketers, digital leads and PR specialists for equestrian publishers, media brands and industry marketing teams.

Sector 10

Equine Charity & Welfare Ops

Operations managers, fundraising leads and welfare-programme directors for World Horse Welfare, Blue Cross Equine, RSPCA equine and independent equine charities.

Sector 11

Equine Property & Facility

Equestrian property agents, facility managers, arena and yard operations leaders for equestrian property specialists and multi-yard operators.

Sector 12

Equine Sales & Broking

Horse dealers, sales agents, auction operations, buying agents and sales-yard managers for specialist equine sales businesses.

The people who supply, insure, transport, feed and represent the horse world keep the whole industry running. A recruiter who knows the difference between BETA and BHS, between a KBIS broker and a general-lines one, is worth ten who do not.
Just For My Horse Recruitment · The Partner Team
Frequently asked

What equine businesses ask us first.

Are you the same as Equine Staffing?

Separate specialism. Equine Staffing focuses on operational yard, stud and racing staff (grooms, yard managers, stud managers). Just For My Horse Recruitment focuses on the ALLIED business side: retail, feed, saddlery, transport, insurance, riding-school businesses, event ops, media, welfare, property and sales.

What credentials do you verify?

BETA member businesses, SMS-qualified saddlers, RSA and BHS-recognised riding centres, KBIS and SEIB specialist equine insurance experience, BE/BS/BD event-team experience, and NRAS / equestrian trade-body affiliations where relevant.

How fast is a shortlist?

Ten to fifteen working days from signed brief to ranked shortlist of three to five candidates. Urgent business-critical roles can be prioritised on request.

Is there a replacement guarantee?

Yes. Every permanent placement carries a written replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the guarantee window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.

How is the fee structured?

Standard percentage of first-year package for most placements. Retained fee structure for executive appointments and senior specialist searches. Both quoted on the intake call.

Do you handle right-to-work checks?

Every candidate on our shortlist has right-to-work verified, at least two independent references contacted, and trade-body membership confirmed against the issuing body before introduction.
