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. Each side hires in its own way.
Just For My Horse Recruitment was set up for the second side, the business end 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. We cover twelve sectors, each recruited by a consultant who knows it, and roles from store manager and sales rep up to operations director and CEO. One consultant stays accountable 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 explain why someone meets the credential bar and fits the sector, their CV stays on 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. Most of the people we deal with are owners, operations directors, HR leads and hiring managers who would rather see a well-researched shortlist than a pile of CVs.
We judge a placement about eighteen months after the offer letter is signed. By then the store manager should have grown sales density the right way, the operations director should have closed a clean year-end without heroics, and the event coordinator should have run a fourth national event on plan.
Use the contact form and we will come back within one business day. We are available Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm.
One consultant takes your brief in writing and returns a ranked shortlist within ten to fifteen working days.
