A UK specialist recruitment firm for the allied equine industry: retail, feed, saddlery, transport, insurance, riding-school businesses, events, media, welfare, property and sales.
The equine world has two sides. On one side, the operational yards: stud farms, racing stables, competition yards, livery businesses. The people who feed, groom, exercise, produce and ride the horses. On the other side, the allied businesses that keep the whole industry running: the tack shops and feed retailers, the saddle makers and horsebox manufacturers, the specialist insurance brokers and equine solicitors, the riding-school businesses, the event organisations, the equestrian media and the welfare charities. Two very different recruitment problems.
Just For My Horse Recruitment was set up for the second side. The business side of the equine industry. We are a specialist UK recruitment desk for allied equine businesses. Every consultant on the team knows the difference between BETA and BHS, between an SMS master saddler and a general leather worker, between a KBIS specialist broker and a generalist insurance advisor. Every candidate we introduce has been screened against the actual credential and industry experience the role demands.
Yard-operational recruitment (grooms, yard managers, stud managers, head grooms, racing stable staff, equine vets, riding instructors) sits with our sister firm Equine Staffing. If you are hiring for a yard, stud or racing operation, they are the right desk. If you are hiring for an allied equine business, you are in the right place.
We place permanent hires for UK equine industry and services businesses. Twelve sectors, each with its own consultant lens. From store manager and sales rep through operations director and CEO. One consultant accountable end to end, from the intake call through onboarding follow-up.
Every candidate on a Just For My Horse Recruitment shortlist has been assessed against the same standard before an introduction:
Every shortlist arrives with our written notes on each candidate. If we cannot articulate why they meet the credential bar and the sector fit, the CV does not leave our desk.
Our clients include UK equestrian retailers of every scale, national feed and nutrition brands, saddlery makers, horsebox manufacturers and transport operators, specialist equine insurance firms, riding-school businesses, event teams for the major disciplines, equestrian publishers and media brands, equine welfare charities, equestrian property specialists and horse sales businesses. Owners, operations directors, HR leads and hiring managers who value a properly researched shortlist over CV volume.
A successful placement is not a signed offer letter. It is the moment eighteen months later when the store manager has taken sales density the right way, when the operations director has closed a clean year-end without heroics, when the event coordinator has run their fourth national event on plan. That is the only outcome that matters, and it is why our published median for hires still in role at twelve months is ninety-one percent.
