About the role

It’s knowing the horses are ready to play their role in Royal events.

It’s the collaboration and the community spirit, and it’s the pride in joining a team that delivers exceptional results. This is what makes working for the Royal Household so different.

The Royal Mews is the team within The Royal Household responsible for caring for and training The King’s carriage and riding  horses and maintaining all the carriages and coaches.

Joining the team at Windsor Castle, you’ll provide high levels of care and welfare to our horses and ponies ensuring they are prepared for riding.

Key Responsibilities:

• You’ll be responsible for all aspects of horse and pony care, including daily feeds and exercise.
• From mucking out stables to cleaning saddlery and harnesses, you'll help to ensure the Royal Mews is kept in the very best condition and that all equipment is fit for purpose.
• You'll also occasionally train young horses in preparation for their ceremonial career.

The standards you'll aim for will provide the biggest challenge, and the greatest reward

Whilst this role is based at Windsor Castle, you’ll on occasion travel to other Royal Residences. This role will involve extended periods of being on your feet, performing manual tasks and handling of heavy loads.
