Giving Grooms the Recognition They Deserve

With the EquineSkillsCV you can:

  • Get the recognition for your skills and achievements that you deserve
  • Achieve a recognised job title inline with your experience and ability
  • Identify things you are good at and build on areas where you would like more experience
  • Record your job history and qualifications in a CV style
  • Have greater confidence to build a career working with horses

There are 4 levels of the EquineSkillsCV that you can achieve:

Foundation

Foundation grooms will carry out yard duties under the direction of somebody else. Tasks include completing daily routines, handling and looking after horses and establishing the foundation skills that all good grooms should start out with.

Intermediate

Intermediate grooms are expanding their experience already gained with working with horses, including being able to understand and take responsibility for carrying out routine tasks and straight forward problems on time and to a high standard. A Stud Workbook also available.

Advanced

Advanced grooms have significant experience of working with horses, including using their initiative to complete tasks on the yard or while travelling, weighing up different ideas or approaches to work and having some responsibility for others. Stud workbook also available.

Elite

Elite grooms are those with wide experience and have responsibility for the yard, horses, travelling arrangements and others on the yard. Skills required include making decisions, solving sometimes difficult problems, planning and taking responsibility for the management of horses and the work of other people. Stud workbook also available.
